THE state government will spend $2.4 million to boost safety at two intersections on Mount Cotton Road.
Transport Minister Mark Bailey said the road was one of the nine to be upgraded by the state government after being identified as high risk.
A total of $112 million will be spent, including $2.4 million on right-turning lanes at German Church and Coorang roads on the southern section of Mount Cotton Road.
Mr Bailey said the goal of all the safety works was reducing Queensland's road toll.
"My department identified 26 sections of the state-controlled road network, each about 20 kilometres in length, that are known locations for crashes," Mr Bailey said.
"While these sections of road represent only 1.4 per cent of Queensland’s state-controlled road network, they account for about 10 per cent of the state’s fatal and serious injury crashes.
"That’s why we are targeting spending on safety improvements using revenue collected from speed and red-light camera offences."
The Mount Cotton Road works will be done during 2019-20.
Other roads to be upgraded under the Targeted Road Safety Program include Mount Lindesay HIghway, New England Highway (Warwick to Wallangarra) and Beaudesert Nerang Road.
Mr Bailey said the government would deliver a further $40 million for 71 projects under the Safer Roads Sooner and Vulnerable User programs.
"These lower cost projects, also funded by camera detected offences, will target safety improvements for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists on roads across Queensland,” he said.
