Constituency questions

Carrum electorate


Ms KILKENNY

Carrum electorate

 Ms KILKENNY (Carrum) (14:44): (6115) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. As part of the level crossing removal project at Carrum a new signalised intersection was constructed that directly links McLeod Road with the Nepean Highway. No more do motorists have to navigate the dreaded dogleg—a right turn into Station Street, along Station Street, wait at the level crossing and then a right turn onto the Nepean Highway. Since we opened the new intersection in 2020 I have received and really appreciated community feedback on ways to continually improve safety for drivers and pedestrians. This week overhead signage is going up on the rail bridge to advise motorists which lanes they should be in. Prior to that flashing signs were added and street signage was moved. Can the minister please say what works have taken place to improve safety at this intersection and what further works are planned?
