Scope of Work
The project included:
- Widening King Georges Road to three lanes in each direction
- Removing four right-turn movements to streamline traffic flow and reduce conflict points
- Upgrading pedestrian infrastructure in line with modern safety standards
These improvements delivered long-term benefits for road users in southern Sydney by improving traffic efficiency and travel times.
Safety Infrastructure Supply and Installation
As part of the pedestrian safety enhancements, Guard-R supplied Street-Guard® Type 1 RMS Pedestrian Fencing — a durable barrier system designed to guide pedestrians to designated crossings and prevent unsafe mid-block movements.
The fencing was finished in Heritage Green powder coat, a colour selected to complement the urban environment while maintaining visibility and compliance with Transport for NSW requirements.
Evolution Civil was contracted to complete the installation works, with Guard-R supplying the pedestrian fencing directly to their team. The modular design and robust construction of the fencing enabled fast, efficient installation without compromising safety or quality.
Project Outcomes
- Improved Pedestrian Safety: The installed fencing successfully directed pedestrian movement, reducing the risk of vehicle interactions.
- Enhanced Traffic Flow: Additional lanes and the removal of right-turns eased congestion and improved journey times.
- Efficient Delivery: Guard-R delivered the fencing on time, and Evolution Civil completed the installation within the project’s schedule.
- Visual Integration: The Heritage Green finish blended seamlessly into the streetscape while ensuring compliance with transport standards.
