Ms McLEISH (Eildon) (14:39): (6530) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Will the minister provide an update on the outcome of the Department of Transport’s investigation to improve pedestrian safety at Maroondah Highway, Wilson Street and Badger Creek Road in Healesville? This is a very busy intersection. There is a park on one corner and cafes on another. We have families and small children darting across the road in between traffic to access the park.
The Department of Transport have previously suggested pedestrians walk 250 metres west to Green Street or 400 metres east to Don Road to cross the road. This is really difficult for people with children and prams; it adds quite a distance for them. Concerned community members were understandably unsatisfied with the suggestions made or the investigations conducted by the department already. I am aware that the speed has dropped to 40 kilometres an hour, but this does not help the pedestrians safely cross the highway.
