Mansfield road safety
Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (19:33): (1528) My adjournment this evening is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and the action I seek is for 80 kilometre speed limit signs to be installed on the Mount Buller Road at Mansfield as promised. In September 2024 the Department of Transport and Planning announced the lowering of the speed limit on the Mount Buller Road and Mansfield–Woods Point Road intersection in Mansfield after successful lobbying by the Mansfield Shire Council. The council raised this issue after a tragic fatal car and truck crash in April 2024. The lowering of the speed limit from 100 kilometres per hour to 80 kilometres per hour is for the safety of all road users. This road is frequently used by locals and tourists alike. During the busy snow season Mount Buller Road is a hive of activity with motorists making their way to and from the snowfields. Minister, for the safety of all Mount Buller Road users, install the long-awaited 80 kilometre-per-hour speed limit signs as promised in September 2024.
