Traffic Signal Improvements For Southern Outlet
The Tasmanian Government and City of Hobart are set to install new traffic signals at the Olinda Grove roundabout in Mount Nelson to alleviate morning peak congestion on the Southern Outlet.
The signals will activate only when queues form on the northbound off-ramp, prioritizing vehicles exiting towards Sandy Bay, the University of Tasmania, and Hobart College.
