The Thomas and Gordonton Rd intersection has been the subject of public outcry after a number crashes. The upgrades includes new traffic islands to separate vehicle turning lanes, with traffic lights to allow traffic a safe exit from Thomas Rd.

In conjunction with the intersection upgrade Hamilton City Council has dropped the speed limit of a section of the Gordonton Rd corridor to 30km/h while work is on-going. A permanent speed reduction to 60km/h from 80 km/h will come into effect 10 October 2018.
