• “Unhook” the turning movements into and out of Crassula Avenue to remove the conflict point and provide an eastbound acceleration lane
• Allow vehicles entering and exiting Crassula Avenue to cross Philip Kgosana Drive easily and safely
• Create additional storage space for the queues in the median to wait at the signal
• Ease access onto Philip Kgosana Drive for right turning vehicles from Crassula Avenue
