 Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (13:02): (1952) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Minister, how will you respond to the RACV’s 2025 My Melbourne Road survey as it relates to my region? We need improved line markings and signage, tidy pedestrian crossings and the immediate extension of Westall Road after many years of consultation and lobbying. The RACV’s efforts were monumental: 12,400 respondents took part in the survey, providing insights into Melbourne’s intersections, which account for 40 per cent of all crashes. Unsurprisingly, many of Melbourne’s worst intersections are in my suburbs of Springvale, Noble Park, Keysborough, Dandenong South, Frankston, Cranbourne, Clyde, Mulgrave, Heatherton and Carrum. Chief among these is the Princes Highway–Springvale Road–Centre Road intersection. Many trucks, buses and commuters navigate it daily and there are crashes and near misses regularly. I want people in my electorates to get home to their families and friends.
