Gepps Cross intersection

[MT269]

Is there anything on the cards for this unofficial carpark which is devoid of meters? Everytime I venture through it, it just reminds how this city is stuck in the dark ages in some ways. I couldn't find a thread on it.

I don't think the former Hungry Jacks site needs another OTR occupying it. I think the space could be better used for a long needed upgrade of the intersection.

Just my 2c worth.

The number of paths vehicles can take through an intersection is n*(n-1), where n is the number of roads leading to the intersection. A normal four road intersection has 12 possible paths, five roads like Gepps Cross has 20. The traffic lights need to give each of these 20 paths a go every cycle, so it's slower than a normal intersection. Not much can be done about it except grade-separation.

18 possible paths, with 3 of them not signalised, so 15 signalised paths. Your point still stands though, not a great deal that can be done with traffic light timings alone.

It seems there's a lot of potential for improvement in this area. The unofficial carpark lacking meters highlights the city's outdated infrastructure, which can be frustrating. The idea of transforming the former Hungry Jacks site into an OTR might not be the best use of space. Instead, using it to upgrade the intersection could bring much-needed modernization and efficiency to the area, benefiting everyone who navigates through it.

What a strange use of ChatGPT.

I thought it was going to be another X Convenience, but I'm not so sure now.

Just an idea i thought worth throwing out.

The Gepps Cross intersection seems to be a challenge too difficult to resolve. With the recent sale of the former drive in, i think we've missed an opportunity to remove one of the contributing roads to this intersection and merging it further north. Doing this will then mean Gepps Cross would become a classic 4 way intersection.

Excuse the poor effort, but something like this:

What are the picturing where Main North Road and Port Wakefield Road merge there, some kind of over/underpass situation?

Spot on. Grade separation only needed for northbound to MN Rd

There are For Lease signs on the fence.

Seems like an oddly custom building to not have a tenant already lined up.

Could be wrong but I heard the Ford dealership was building a new service department.

The Ford dealership's new building is on the wedge between Main North Rd and Grand Junction.

The mystery building is on the wedge between Port Wakefield Rd and Main North.
