Northern Metropolitan Region

Mr ONDARCHIE (Northern Metropolitan) (12:39): (1836) My constituency question today is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Reservoir residents are concerned about their safety at the roundabout at Boldrewood Parade and Broadway. The Minister for Transport Infrastructure well knows these issues, as I have raised them before on behalf of constituents in this house, regarding traffic congestion in Reservoir. I have been contacted by the same constituents, who are frustrated with the traffic flow and safety at this roundabout. Residents have told me it is a nightmare to try and navigate. One of the residents said that it is a death trap trying to get uphill on a roundabout where you have reduced visibility. The action I seek from the minister is to direct VicRoads or the Department of Transport to investigate potential safety measures to upgrade this intersection so drivers in Melbourne’s north can get home safely to their families.
