Box Hill electorate
Mr HAMER (Box Hill) (14:36): (6527) My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. Early last month a pedestrian was struck by a car while crossing Springfield Road in Blackburn North. She was hit by a car turning right from Williams Road which failed to give way to her. Sadly, the pedestrian passed away last week from injuries sustained as a result of the crash. Local residents familiar with the site are concerned that drivers turning right from Williams Road into Springfield Road are not seeing or expecting to see pedestrians on the crossing and see only the green light at the intersection. In particular for drivers approaching the intersection along Williams Road the intersection is at the top of an incline, and there is concern that many drivers approaching a green signal at the intersection may be accelerating to make it through the intersection. Can the minister ask the Department of Transport to review the safety of pedestrians crossing at the intersection of Springfield Road and Williams Road to see what safety improvements can be made as part of a future works program? I look forward to the minister’s response.
