South-Eastern Metropolitan Region

Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:52): (1710) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. A Clyde North constituent has raised serious concerns about student safety at the Viewbright Road and Bells Road intersection near Hillcrest Christian College. This intersection sees drivers running red lights during peak times, putting children’s lives at risk. Casey council declined a request for a school crossing supervisor, saying that the intersection did not meet the government’s minimum number of primary school students per hour criteria. Will the minister fully review the school crossing supervisor program to ensure enhanced safety and provide funding for a crossing supervisor at this intersection?
