Lindesay Street is one of Campbelltown’s busiest throughfares. It is quite a long street, running parallel to Moore-Oxley Street and Queen Street.
In the south, Lindesay Street starts at Bradbury Avenue and runs at almost a straight line north all the way to O’Sullivan Road at Leumeah.
A lot of streets run off Lindesay – the reason it’s such a busy thoroughfare.
There are no traffic lights along the entire route, but Lindesay Street is dotted with roundabouts.
One of the intersections which experiences high levels of traffic, at Allman Street, will soon have a brand new roundabout to improve the level of safety for motorists.
