"POINT OUT A BLACK SPOT": EASTER ROAD SAFETY MESSAGE 2012
This year, as part of my Easter Road Safety Message, I am asking Eltham residents to point out dangers on our roads via a form they will find in their letterboxes in the first week of April.
Easter is a great time to get away with the family, but increased traffic can mean greater dangers on our roads. So this Easter I am asking people to point out a black spot to help make our roads safer.
Whether it is in our local area or on your travels around Victoria or interstate, if you see a danger on our roads, fill in the details on the form and send it in to me.
Whilst the RACV, VicRoads and local councils often know of dangerous roads, we always need to update and improve information. People driving on our roads know the situation on the ground, so I am encouraging them to report dangers or problems with our road system.
You might notice a near miss at a dangerous intersection, poor visibility, poorly maintained roads, or variable and confusing speed signs. I will follow up information with the relevant authorities and seek any urgent action that is needed.
Residents can fill in the form they find in their letterbox or download a copy here.
Urgent hazardous or dangerous road conditions should always be reported to VicRoads on 13 11 70.
Happy travelling and let's all work together to keep our roads safe this Easter.
