MOTORCYCLIST safety is a focus from the State Government, with a Mitchell Shire road part of a $10.6 million project designed to help motorcyclists on the road.
Through the Road Safety Program under the Motorcycle Safety Infrastructure Program, new motorcyclist-friendly barrier treatments, signage improvements and sealing of dangerous intersections will be performed.
One of the eight roads as part of the project will be the Broadford-Flowerdale Road near Strath Creek.
Victorian Minister for Roads and Safety, Melissa Horne, said this was designed to reduce road trauma, with 54 motorcyclists losing their lives on Victorian roads through to December.
“Motorcyclists are among our most vulnerable road users and are sadly overrepresented in road trauma, which is why we are continuing to prioritise making our roads safer through the Motorcycle Safety Levy,” she said.
“This is why we are investing in vital road safety improvements to ensure they can get where they need to go safely.”
