 Anasina GRAY-BARBERIO (Northern Metropolitan) (12:46): My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Minister, I am sponsoring a petition by local road safety group Safe Moreland Rd Now! that has gathered signatures from nearly 800 Victorians and counting. The petition calls on the government to take real action to improve safety on Moreland Road by implementing reduced speed limits, building protected bike lanes, installing more signalised pedestrian crossings and building a safe and well-lit connection across Merri Creek, where Moreland Road meets Normanby Avenue. This follows a spate of horrific accidents on Moreland Road, with three vulnerable road users – a motorcyclist, a skateboard rider and a cyclist walking his bike – killed by car drivers between May and September. It is clear that my constituents in Northern Metro expect this government to act to keep vulnerable road users safe on Moreland Road. Minister, how will you respond to this petition?
