If done correctly, traffic lights will save a lot of time. The way Britannia Roundabout is set up at the moment, only single vehicles can enter it, whereas traffic lights would be able to handle platoons.zap brannigan wrote:i think the traffic lights would only operate during peak periods to help clear any chocked roads.cruel_world00 wrote:Ben Dineen's facebook status (Labor candidate for Bragg)

An overpass constructed via incremental launch can be completed in less time than that (all-be it more costly).Straze wrote:The Liberal Party has pledged to start works at the five-way bottleneck within 12 months and to have the project finished by 2013.
In WA it's estimated to take about 18 months to build this,
