The issue of signalization of the Knox Street and Antill Street intersection in Watson was flagged in a Draft Land Use Master Plan North Watson consultants report dated 28 March 2003. The Watson Community Association has produced a comparison of peak-hour morning and afternoon traffic numbers at this intersection on 20 November 2002 and a later survey conducted by Roads ACT in the week from September 22 – September 29 in 2008. The WCA study clearly demonstrates a dramatic increase in traffic volumes during this six year period. The impacts associated with increasing traffic clearly warrant discussion within the wider Watson community and between the community and the ACT government.
