I am still waiting to see the the traffic lights on the merging lanes make a big difference. I wonder if this is going to make any difference at all?
Signs designed to bust Bruce Highway traffic to be switched on for testing on Monday
VARIABLE Speed Limit (VSL) signs on the Bruce Highway southbound lanes will be switched on from February 29 as part of the next step of a plan to ease traffic congestion.
Electronic signs between the Uhlmann Road overpass and the Pine River Bridge will display reduced speed limits when congestion, accidents or bad weather occur.
Queensland Minister for Main Roads and Road Safety Mark Bailey said once the electronic signs are switched on and they will display the default 100km/h speed limit while they are tested over the next couple of weeks.
“Once testing is complete, motorists may notice the signs operating in peak periods if the highway becomes congested,” Mr Bailey said.
“By adjusting the speed limit, we’re able to make sure that all motorists are driving to the conditions.”
Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Darren Chester said the signs would improve road safety and traffic flows on the southern end of the highway.
