Eastern Victoria Region
Mr BOURMAN (Eastern Victoria) (12:50): (1603) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. On Princes Highway around about Gumbuya World there are a multitude of speed zones now. It goes from 100 to 80 to 100 to 80 to possibly 70 to 100. I believe this was instituted after a serious accident, but there has also been a serious accident since then. It is also quite annoying, and I have found that the traffic is ending up doing quite a lot of different speeds in the same zone, because some people see the signs and some people disobey the signs. Anyway, it has become quite a large mess. So my request is that the minister initiate an inquiry urgently to try and sort out at least a consistent speed that is not just always the lowest possible denominator and fix the problem.
