A Brisbane’s pedestrian safety report has offered a host of recommendations to make the city’s streets safer and reduce fatalities, including removing slip lanes and reducing speed limits.
Between January and November, seven pedestrians died on Brisbane streets, six while crossing roads, and one hit by a car involved in a separate car crash.
Slip lanes are highlighted in public feedback for many drivers approaching roads too fast. Within the CBD, the report found that Adelaide Street, Ann Street, Albert and George Streets had the highest number of incidents with fatal or severe pedestrian crashes.
