An intersection in Annerley where a pedestrian was killed when two cars collided last year will be considered for safety upgrades following a petition from locals to Brisbane City council.

More than 200 people signed the petition which called for upgrades to the intersection of Venner Road and Frederick Street, including a reduction of the speed limit from 60 km/hour to 40 km/hour.

Council had already allocated funding for a corridor review for the Venner-Ipswich Road upgrades, and agreed the petitioner’s request for upgrades to the smaller intersection close by could be considered as part of that review
