Eastern Victoria Region
Mr BOURMAN (Eastern Victoria) (12:39): (1743) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. The Easter break is approaching, and traffic will increase through Tynong, past Gumbuya World, with the risk of more serious crashes. The intersection at that stretch of Princes Highway has multiple speed limits and varying speeds and has cost too many Victorians their lives or resulted in serious injuries. I have previously brought this issue to the attention of the house, but I have yet to see any significant road safety upgrades or improvements or even interest in that dangerous stretch of the highway through Tynong. Will the government commit to making it a priority to make the Princes Highway in Tynong safer before we see more fatalities instead of just reducing the speed limit?
