Western Metropolitan Region

 David ETTERSHANK (Western Metropolitan) (14:46): (2341) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. On 24 May I attended the ‘Leakes needs lights’ rally and heard from many frustrated constituents that their request for traffic lights at the incredibly dangerous and congested Leakes Road interchange has been ignored. When I raised this issue last year the previous minister ruled out installing temporary signals for technical reasons. A petition from Ms Grigorovitch in the other place states:

… the safety risk is critical now, and something must be done in the interim to improve the safety of this dangerous interchange.

My constituent asks: will the minister explain why the community are being asked to wait for the completed $1 billion Western Highway upgrade before they can travel safely around their own suburbs?
