Brunswick electorate
Tim READ (Brunswick) (14:53): (1256) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. A major thoroughfare in my electorate, Nicholson Street, does not have a consistent speed limit. From here on Spring Street up to Albion Street in Brunswick the speed limit on Nicholson Street changes from 40 to 60 to 40 to 60 and back to 40 again. From 2020 to 2024 there were 82 injuries reported from accidents on Nicholson Street, 20 of them serious, and two vulnerable road users were struck and killed on Nicholson Street in the past 14 months. Slower travel speeds save lives. When will the government set a consistent 40-kilometre-an-hour limit for all of Nicholson Street?
