 David SOUTHWICK (Caulfield) (14:33): (1538) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Residents in Caulfield have raised urgent safety concerns about the designated school crossing on Glen Eira Road near Hood Crescent. This is a very busy crossing located near a bus stop servicing Mount Scopus Memorial College and close to a Caulfield Grammar campus, resulting in significant pedestrian traffic from multiple schools as well as local primary school kids. Despite the presence of a school crossing supervisor, motorists are frequently failing to stop during peak periods, with repeated near misses involving children and crossing staff. Can the minister advise what action is being taken to address these safety concerns, including whether a signalised pedestrian crossing is being considered?
