South-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:45): (139) My question on behalf of my constituent is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and I ask: is the duration of the pedestrian light cycles in High Street, Berwick, adequate for a slower walker or someone with a walking aid? Whilst I was holding a street stall mobile office along with my colleague Mr Tarlamis last week at La Baguette cafe, where we had a number of constituents helped with the $250 power saving bonus, I was approached by a constituent who is 80 years old. On a number of occasions she has found that she has not been able to make it across the road in time without being aggressively honked and tooted at by some drivers. This has understandably left her feeling less confident and has affected her independence, so my question again is: is the duration of these pedestrian light cycles adequate? These are the traffic lights between Gloucester Avenue and Lyall Road in Berwick.
