Transport for NSW will carry out  investigation work at the intersection  of Frederick Street and John Street,  Ashfield between Thursday 18 September and Thursday 16 October 2025.Please view or download the September 2025 notification (PDF, 355.73 KB) for more information.

In response to community feedback, Transport have carried out a road safety review around the existing pedestrian crossing on Frederick Street near John Street, Ashfield.

We sought feedback on two options and based off community feedback we are proceeding with a design to install traffic lights the intersection of Frederick Street and John Street. This will mean restricting right hand turn movements from Frederick Street into John Street.

Traffic signals at this intersection will improve safety by separating traffic movements to minimise conflicts and enabling pedestrian movements at all four legs of the signalised intersection, as opposed to the current crossing 18 metres west of the corner.

The changes will also improve safety for motorists entering Frederick Street from John Street.

Consultation has now closed and the consultation report can be read below. We will continue to keep the community informed. If you would like to receive project updates, please register here.
