Western Metropolitan Region

Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (12:42): (1743) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Can the minister please update my constituents on the representations made to her and her department by the City of Brimbank to look at options to improve the safety on Old Calder Highway between Keilor Park Drive and Bonfield Street in Keilor? It has been brought to my attention that this section of road is extremely dangerous, with motorists driving on the wrong side of the road due to the configuration of the road. A centre median island treatment is the preferred option to alleviate this issue. Having a separate physical barrier between the east and west boundary lane on the Old Calder Highway between Keilor Park Drive and the bridge would make a significant improvement. I look forward to the minister’s response on this very important road safety initiative for motorists and for local residents in Keilor.
