Why will ramp signals be installed at Hobson Street when traffic lights are already there?
A large number of traffic movements take place along the stretch of SH1 between Hobson Street and Gillies Ave. Traffic from the Hobson Street on-ramp joins the motorway and merges with traffic from the north and northwest. Much of the traffic then changes lanes depending on the driver’s desired destination. By spacing the number of cars joining the motorway at Hobson Street, ramp signals will help to improve traffic flow and create safer merging onto the motorway lanes.
