Great news! Work is almost complete.

The major civil work for the compact roundabout is complete, with line marking to take place the week of 16 December. Verge work and some tidying up of the site will also happen over the next week.

The teardrop intersection is also nearly complete, with lights being energised in early January 2025.

We'd like to take this time to thank the community for their patience during this important safety project for McLaren Vale.

Enhanced warning signage has been installed at 14 McLaren Vale intersections.

We have now begun the six-week commissioning process for RJAWS at the following intersections:

  • Seaview Road, Coppermine Road, and Olivers Road
  • Aldinga Road, California Road, and Olivers Road
  • Malpas Road and California Road

These systems will be fully operational by September 2024.


RJAWS will be installed soon at two additional intersections: Main Road, Malpas Road, and Binney Road; and Bayliss Road and Communication Road. This will also involve changing the priority at the intersection.
