The measures include lowering the limit to 50km/h on Ryan Road, Tenbrink Street and Gap Road, installing turn lanes at Hodge Street and stop signs on Hodge and Wilkinson streets at Tenbrink Street.
A surface treatment on Tenbrink Street aims to improve car traction and skid resistance while southbound access to Watson Street from the Ryan Road/Burrows Road roundabout will be closed for a three-month trial.

Resident Terry Hayden said the council had made a thorough study of the traffic issues highlighted over the past six months.
"I am encouraged by the findings and hope all proposed changes are implemented in the near future," he said.
Mr Hayden intended to discuss further improvements, such as a solar powered slow down sign, with council officers.
All proposed solutions still needed to be endorsed by the local traffic committee, made up of council representatives, NSW Highway Patrol, Roads and Maritime Services and Member for Albury Justin Clancy, as well as council itself.
Local traffic committee chairman Graham Docksey, who will visit the Glenroy site on Wednesday, said the committee was due to meet next later this month.
"It's not one straight issue with one road, it's a number of intersections," he said.
"So it's reasonably complex, but we've got a way ahead.
"Like most things, it doesn't always solve the issue from everyone's perspective."
Cr Docksey said speed cushions and chicanes were considered, but these would reduce access for buses, waste collection trucks and emergency services.
