Trial of left-turn bans on Victoria Road citybound: Lyons Road and Edwin Street, Drummoyne
Project overview
From Wednesday 19 March 2025, Transport for NSW is trialling left-turn bans from Victoria Road citybound at Lyons Road and Edwin Street, Drummoyne. The bans apply to all vehicles during weekday morning peak periods, between 7:00am-9:00am. Left turns for vehicles under six metres are permitted at all other times. (Vehicles over six metres are not permitted to turn left at these intersections).
New ‘No Left Turn’ signs are installed on Victoria Road citybound on its approach to Lyons Road and Edwin Street.
Project information
Benefits
The trial will help determine if left-turn bans can reduce “rat-running” in east Drummoyne’s local streets, which is causing congestion and impeding local residents’ access to their properties.
The left turn bans will also improve safety during the morning peak at Lyons Road and Edwin Street, which have tight turning movements.
Project status
In August 2024, Transport invited the Drummoyne community to have their say on the proposed left-turn ban. In January 2025, Transport announced the bans would be the subject of a six-month trial, which will allow sufficient time to assess the effect on local congestion and local resident access.
The bans became operational on Wednesday, 19 March 2025.
Next steps
Transport will continue to work with City of Canada Bay Council to identify other potential traffic mitigation measures within Drummoyne and will keep the community informed.
Transport will advise the community on the outcome of the trial after it concludes.
