Driving carefully also key to road safety

- City of Ballarat Mayor Cr Samantha McIntosh

These intersections are key black spots in our region. The community has told us they would like to see improvements made to these intersections to improve safety.

We welcome this funding announcement, but that's only the beginning of improving safety in these areas.

We all have to change our attitude when it comes to road safety. New infrastructure is not the sole solution to improving road safety, we all need to take responsibility.

That means we always need to be mindful of conditions when driving, we need to keep to speed limits specifically around schools and we must not use our phones when behind the wheel.
