South-Eastern Metropolitan Region

Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:52): (1546) My constituency question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Minister, I have been contacted by parents, teachers and school leaders because of the impact to people at Cornish College. So I ask the minister: will you review the traffic and safety concerns at the Thames Promenade and Mordialloc Freeway intersection in Bangholme impacting students and teachers at Cornish College nearby? The intersection has become a cut through, with many southbound drivers exiting the freeway at Thames Promenade and performing dangerous U-turns across oncoming traffic to re-enter the freeway’s on ramp, which is directly in the path of the school and residential traffic, creating significant risk and regular near-miss incidents. Recently there was a traffic accident with a parent at the location. Minister, would you please urgently review this unsafe traffic location before more accidents occur?
