This time, two cars have collided at the intersection of Sturt and Ascot streets about 4.30pm.
Two people, a man and a woman, both in their 70s, were assessed for shock but did not require transport to hospital.
EARLIER: ONE person has been taken to Ballarat Base Hospital after a crash at the corner of Sturt Street and Lyons Street North this morning.
Two cars collided at one of the six corners which VicRoads has earmarked for upgrades about 11.15am.
Paramedics assessed two people at the scene, with one, a woman in her 80s transported to hospital with muscular pain in a stable condition.
It comes less than two weeks after another similar incident at the corner of Sturt Street and Raglan Street which also happened in the late morning.
VicRoads still has no solution to the problems after the state government knocked back its plans in February.
The state government wants VicRoads to undertake more design work and wider community consultation to the plans which, if accepted, would have seen the removal of crossover intersections at Lyon, Errard, Windemere and Talbot streets and build a median strip bike lane.
