Another accident on Lloyd Street and Waterloo Road in Moe has Martin Cameron urge Allen Labor government for immediate safety upgrades
Martin Cameron urges the Labor government to promptly start safety upgrades at Lloyd Street and Waterloo Road in Moe after yet another accident, emphasising the long-delayed improvements needed urgently for regional safety.
After another accident at the intersection of Lloyd Street and Waterloo Road in Moe, The Nationals Member for Morwell, Martin Cameron, has urged the Labor government to fast-track long promised safety works. The notoriously dangerous level crossing was identified as a hazard where trucks, buses and cars queue and short-stack frequently, and accidents are now an all too common occurrence.
Cameron highlights urgency for safety upgrades at Lloyd Street and Waterloo Road, criticising neglect of regional infrastructure amid metropolitan investments
Level crossing urgency
The intersection was earmarked for safety works three years ago, but road users and residents in Moe are still waiting for the much-needed upgrades to begin. "The level crossing at Lloyd Street and Waterloo Road in Moe has been a cause of concern for too long now, and the most recent accident is further evidence that safety upgrades must be fast-tracked as a matter of urgency," Mr Cameron said.
"Billions of dollars continue to be spent on blowout projects like the Suburban Rail Loop and level crossing removals in metropolitan Melbourne, while regional Victorians are left to traverse dangerous roads and level crossings that have been left to rot.
"At a time when our roads are falling apart and in need of major investment, we instead have roads maintenance allocation that is at a lower level than it was in 2014/15, and down a whopping 45 per cent on what it was in 2020. If Labor can remove 75 level crossings in Melbourne in four years, surely it can extend the same courtesy to the people of Moe who have been waiting for critical safety upgrades for three years," he said.
