The safety measures, funded by the federal government's Black Spot program after nearby Dana Street Primary School raised serious concerns, were finished off in 2022.
Drivers can only turn left from Dawson Street, to avoid collisions going straight or turning right.
Dana Street traffic can back up past Dawson Street, particularly during school pick-up and drop-off times, and in the past some drivers have taken risks to cross Dana Street.
In 2020, there were two collisions at that intersection in one week.
