A HAMPTON Park road needs line markings to improve the safety of an intersection, according to South Eastern Metropolitan MP Inga Peulich.
Ms Peulich wrote to VicRoads and requested line markings be painted on Vanessa Drive to prevent people turning left onto Pound Road from a right-hand lane.
She said clear markings were needed, especially because there were no markings on Vanessa Drive to indicate the turn was not allowed.
“I am also aware that because of the numerous offences detected by Victoria Police.
“They requested infrastructure changes to the intersection but because of the pending redevelopment of the South Gippsland Highway no changes were initiated by VicRoads,” Ms Peulich said.
She said VicRoads also needed to paint a straight and right-hand turn lane for motorists travelling towards Hallam Road.
VicRoads Metropolitan South East regional director Steve Brown said VicRoads was currently investigating a number of options for the intersection of Pound Road and Vanessa Drive, in an effort to help reduce congestion and improve access and safety. In May 2008, the State Government announced $36.8 million funding for the upgrade of Pound Road from the South Gippsland Freeway to the South Gippsland Highway.
An investigation into the installation of line markings on Vanessa Drive determined that there was not enough space to safely provide a second lane.
