Speed limit progress

Over the past few years, the Shoreham Community Association (SCA) has tried hard to have the intersection at Byrnes Road and Frankston-Flinders Road acknowledged as an accident waiting to happen and made safer.

Working in collaboration with Mornington Shire Council, we supported Council’s submission to the Department of Transport and written to Melissa Horne, minister for roads and road safety, seeking a reduction in the speed limit from 100km/h to 80km/h speed limit on Frankston-Flinders Road from Hastings to Flinders with 60km/h and 50km/h through the villages. The idea is by reducing the speed limit and keeping it consistent on the open road, it will increase safety for wildlife and people.

Recently the SCA submitted a petition to Council regarding speed limits which is to be presented at on 17 December.

SCA members also met with Tom McIntosh, Labor MLC for Eastern Victoria and pressed the need for urgent action.

With the increased attention, we are now hopeful of some success.

Stay tuned!
