Constituency questions
Bulleen electorate
Matthew GUY (Bulleen) (14:47): (1290) My constituency question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and I ask: why won’t the Labor government make the temporary traffic lights at the bottom of King Street, near Hillcroft Drive in Templestowe, a permanent road feature? This is a very dangerous part of King Street in Templestowe, particularly when residents are heading westbound along King Street. You have a very, very dangerous section of traffic. There have been temporary traffic lights installed there for the last number of months. A number of residents have contacted me about the dangerous nature of traffic in that area, particularly with a number of schoolkids and pedestrians that cross there. I seek information from the Labor government and ask why the minister will not make those traffic lights a permanent feature as opposed to what they are now.
