Clearway hours to be extended to 13 hours, 7 days a week, on major corridor
The Musgrave and Waterworks roads corridor will have its clearway hours extended from just a couple of hours in the morning and afternoon to most of the day.
In February, Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner announced it would be the first road corridor under review for a project in which car parking would be banned for longer to speed up traffic, and said it could involve adding an extra hour or two to clearway times and adding clearways on Saturdays.
Previously, there was a clearway from 7am-9am inbound and 4-7pm outbound, Mondays to Fridays.
But following a review, that will be extended to 6am to 7pm daily, including weekends, for both inbound and outbound traffic.

On Facebook, Greens Paddington councillor Seal Chong Wah said 73 per cent of responses in council's consultation were supportive, but some residents were worried about getting deliveries, and getting dropped off.
Work was due to start mid-June and take two weeks.
Other clearways will be reviewed in the future, including Bowen Bridge Road to Lutwyche Road, Abbotsford Road, Wynnum Road, Vulture Street, Wellington Road, Moggill Road, Webster Road, Wickham Terrace to Leichhardt Street, St Pauls Terrace, and Klumpp Road.

Weather into the weekend
Could a spot of rain be on the way for Brisbane this weekend?
The bureau is suggesting an increasing chance of a shower late Saturday, rising as the River City enters next week.
Otherwise, we expect cloudy days ahead, with temperatures hovering in the low 20 degrees and overnight minimums about 10 degrees cooler.
Here's your weekend forecast and early next week:

While you were sleeping
Here's what's making news further afield this morning:
We continue our rolling coverage of the rapidly developing conflict in the Middle East.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says Donald Trump will decide on any US action in Iran 'within two weeks' – indicating there could be no resolution any time soon.
When Israel attacked Iran last week, it said nuclear scientists working on the bomb were the target, and has since launched waves of missiles targeting Iranian nuclear facilities. What happens if a nuclear facility is blown up?
And as US Trump decides whether to go to war in Iran, key European countries are hoping to find a negotiated solution and de-escalate the conflict between Israel and Iran before it engulfs the region.
In other news, a survivor of gang rape has called for underage offenders involved in 'pack mentality' assaults to be unmasked after a teenager was allegedly attacked by four people – the youngest of whom was 14 – in Sydney's south-west.
A large SpaceX rocket segment has exploded on a test platform in south Texas, sending a massive fireball high into the sky.
And a Russian billionaire has promised to leave his fortune to 100 children he's fathered.

The top stories this morning
Good morning, welcome to Brisbane Times' live news coverage for Friday, June 20. Today we can expect a partly cloudy day and a top temperature of 23 degrees.
In this morning's local headlines:
Construction workers have shut down inner-city Brisbane streets again as a snap protest over a High Court decision continues for a second day.
The new footpath deck on the Story Bridge will be similar to the South Bank boardwalk, Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner says, as he calls for an 80-20 funding split with the federal government on the full restoration.
Queensland teachers are considering taking industrial action, with the union slamming a new pay offer from the government as 'an affront'.
A phone call minutes before a deadly 2023 firefighting plane crash was a missed opportunity to save the lives of those on board during the preventable tragedy, an investigation has found.

WA news LIVE: Man swept away by tornado in freak incident in WA's Great Southern; WA pet registry in limbo as anti-puppy farming laws begin
Latest posts Latest posts 9.30am Man swept away by tornado in freak incident in WA's Great Southern A West Australian man has revealed he was caught up in wild weather this week – swept away by a tornado while at work. Fencing contractor and father of two Darcy Clode was working at a farm down in Franklin River, in the state's Great Southern, when he spotted the tornado approaching from a distance. He said in a split second, the force of the wind had dragged him across the ground and into a fence and flipped his ute, with his dog inside, onto its roof. You can hear the full details below. 9.30am Across the nation and around the world Here's what's making headlines today: Senator Dorinda Cox described Labor as patronising to women and people of colour and claimed the party cared more about its donors than members in her application to run for the Greens in 2020. US President Donald Trump has played down the chances of successful peace talks in the Russia-Ukraine war after a phone call with Vladimir Putin, and foreshadowed Russian retaliation to the weekend's surprise Ukrainian attacks on Russian air bases. The heirs to Sol Goldman's real estate fortune are taking a new step in their battle over a property empire worth more than $US1.7 billion ($2.6 billion). Tech titan Elon Musk ratcheted up his offensive against US President Donald Trump's signature tax bill, urging that Americans contact their lawmakers to 'KILL' the legislation. At least 11 people are dead and more than 30 injured after a stampede on Wednesday as crowds tried to enter a cricket stadium in southern India's Karnataka state, authorities said.
