To make the tidal flow system up to date and bring it into line with the rest of the road network, Transport plans to:
- Install pavement lights at major intersections
- Upgrade cameras and changeable message signs
- Upgrade conduits, cables, pipes and pits
- Make adjustments to footpaths and upgrades to barrier boards/ boom gates
