The Waitaki District Council's assets committee passed a rare resolution to install signage at the intersection of TY Duncan and Shortland Rds in Oamaru after Waitaki Mayor Gary Kircher advanced the idea yesterday.
Council roading manager Mike Harrison told councillors at the meeting nothing had been identified as requiring immediate attention by the council at the intersection, but the council was working with police and the coroner on the next steps and those measures at least were likely to be recommended.
He said although there were "many, many" similarly designed T-intersections in the district, there had been a crash at the intersection that had gone unreported at the time.
Mr Kircher said the council would do the work now in advance of any other recommended in the forthcoming coroner's report.
"The road is used far differently ... by young people in particular," he said.
Kaylem Rayne Webb-Hirst (16) and Michael Shelford Mauheni (17), both of Oamaru, died when the vehicle they were passengers in crashed and caught fire at the intersection on June 12.
Earlier this month, the Otago Daily Times reported former Houhora police officer Chris Yarnton was concerned about the absence of signs at the intersection.
Shortly after the fatal crash, Shortland Rd resident Brent Mulligan said speeding vehicles were a common sight in the north Oamaru road.
