 David HODGETT (Croydon) (14:53): (1363) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. I ask: when will the Department of Transport and Planning paint traffic lane arrows on Main Street at the intersection of Main Street, Lacey Street and Kent Avenue, Croydon. Minister, the Croydon railway level crossing was removed at this intersection last year. Presently when a vehicle travels from Coolstore Road into Main Street and then turns right to go under the new railway bridge, the only arrow line markings on the road at the intersection are for the left turn into Lacey Street. This results in drivers sitting in the far-right lane to turn right, which in fact is the through lane for vehicles travelling in the opposite direction on Main Street. This is incredibly dangerous and confusing for road users. The addition of lane markings of a through arrow and right-turn arrow in the centre lane would provide clarity for drivers and improve the safety of this intersection.
