Call for an Urgent Safety Review of the Asquith Station Intersection

This is a call for urgent action to improve the safety of the intersection adjacent to Asquith Station, where the Pacific Highway off-ramp meets Sherbrook Road and Baldwin Avenue.

Despite having traffic lights and pedestrian crossings, this intersection has become well known within the local community for frequent near misses involving pedestrians. A recurring issue is that drivers exiting the highway ramp often focus on finding a gap in traffic rather than checking whether pedestrians are legally crossing with a green signal. Residents have repeatedly reported vehicles failing to stop, running red lights, or narrowly missing people using the crossing.

We ask Transport for NSW to urgently investigate this intersection and implement the engineering and traffic management improvements needed to make it safe. Road design should account for predictable human error and ensure that a momentary lapse in driver attention does not result in serious injury or loss of life.

If you have witnessed or experienced an incident at this intersection, we’d love you to share your story to help with this campaign. You can do so on this Google Form: https://forms.gle/HFLLEqZtfaACYfxN7
