In reply to  Ms SHING (Eastern Victoria) (7 June 2019)

Ms PULFORD (Western Victoria—Minister for Roads, Minister for Road Safety and the TAC, Minister for Fishing and Boating):

A meeting was held on Friday, 14 June 2019, with representatives from Regional Roads Victoria (RRV) and Latrobe City Council, including Moe Life Skills advocacy group and Cr Sharon Gibson, to discuss several road related matters within Moe.

This meeting provided an opportunity for RRV and Council to better understand Moe Life Skills’ concerns and suggestions for improvements along Lloyd Street (Moe-Glengarry Road) in Moe. Their main concern related to vehicles travelling along Lloyd Street not slowing down to give way to pedestrians when approaching the existing zebra crossing, opposite the Moe Railway Station.

It was suggested that RRV consider the installation of a raised platform at the existing zebra crossing, upgrades to existing signs and consideration of a 40 km/h speed limit through the main activity centre.

RRV will continue to work with Latrobe City Council and the Moe Life Skills to explore what other safety improvements could be implemented for our vulnerable road users.
