The Transport Management Centre will look at synchronizing local traffic lights to give vehicles a "fast lane" to the new facility.

"Manly will move in one day, Mona Vale the next and it's down to three minute intervals for everything that needs to happen," CEO of the Northern Beaches Hospital, Deborah Latta, said in the article.
