Intersection gets a safety upgrade
Tuesday, March 15, 2022 by Tai Moses
Better days are coming to the intersection at Cameron Road and Ferguson Lane, thanks to the 2018 mobility bond, which is funding the improvements. Austinites who regularly pass through the intersection, whether by car, bicycle or on foot, have much to look forward to. The Transportation Department has several proposed improvements in the works, including new ADA-compliant ramps, high-visibility pedestrian crossing striping, modified lanes for eastbound traffic, and modified signal timing and new signage. Last but not least, modified median extensions on Cameron Road will create the space for a new north-side pedestrian crossing and permit motorists to make safer turns.
