Evelyn electorate

 Bridget VALLENCE (Evelyn) (14:41): (1666) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety about dangerous roads and intersections I have raised here in Parliament many times before. When will the government allocate funds to upgrade Clegg Road at the dangerous intersection with Wellington Road in Wandin North? This is a notoriously dangerous intersection on a busy state road. Accidents continue to occur, and the rumble strips and larger signs are not enough to prevent the accidents that local emergency services and residents tell me happen every six to eight weeks. The minister has stated that upgrading the intersection would be based on the historical safety record of the site. The transport department know there are repeated accidents here – another just the other week – some resulting in fatalities. VicRoads have visited a few times over the past year for assessments. They know it is dangerous and needs fixing and should share their findings, yet there are no flashing signals installed or structural safety upgrades for the intersection. I thank our emergency services, including Wandin CFA, Yarra Ranges police and also local residents for their tremendous efforts when accidents occur here. But they are sick of it and deserve to see upgrades to make the intersection safer.
