Proposed seagull treatment in Fitzwilliam Road at Greenleaf Street, Old Toongabbie

Project background

Fitzwilliam Road, Old Toongabbie is a busy regional road carrying an average of 18,000 vehicles per day. Due to this high traffic volume, motorists often experience difficulty finding suitable gaps to turn right onto Fitzwilliam Road from Greenleaf Street.

To improve safety, City of Parramatta is proposing to install a painted ‘Seagull Island’ with associated line markings, including adjustments to the existing markings on Fitzwilliam Road at Greenleaf Street (see plan below). This treatment would allow motorists to make right turns from Greenleaf Street into Fitzwilliam Road in two safer, staged movements.

Frequently asked questions

A seagull treatment or seagull island refers to a traffic‑engineering setup that uses seagull‑shaped island to manage how vehicles turn at a busy T‑intersection. It creates separate turning lanes that guide vehicles entering and leaving the side road, helping to reduce crashes and delays.
