South Eastern Metropolitan Region
Mr LIMBRICK (South Eastern Metropolitan) (12:41): (1937) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. A little while back I raised the matter of pedestrian safety at a crossing at Nepean Highway and Charman Road and the difficulty that it was presenting to a resident of a nearby retirement village, with inadequate time to cross safely. I thank the minister for acting on this and extending the time. The feedback I have had is that it is still a little tight but the extended time is appreciated. There are two additional safety issues on this intersection that have been raised with my office. It seems that the flashing give-way-to-pedestrians signs at the traffic lights on the outbound side of Nepean Highway are either inoperable or not clearly visible. There is also an issue with cars turning into the service lane too quickly. Will the minister follow up on these additional safety concerns to ensure that the residents in the area have safe access to the shops and the station on Charman Road?
