The Albanese and Allan Labor governments are improving road safety for motorcyclists by rolling out projects across Victoria to make sure some of our most vulnerable road users get home safely.
The Motorcycle Safety Infrastructure Program will deliver eight life-saving projects under the Road Safety Program to help reduce the likelihood and severity of motorcycle crashes.
Crews will install new motorcyclist friendly barrier treatments, improve signage and seal dangerous intersections.
The first stage includes $10.6 million to deliver 8 projects across the Gippsland, Hume, Loddon Mallee and Greater Melbourne regions.
These works will be carried out across Victoria at:
- Licola Road near Heyfield, Glenmaggie and Licola
- Willowgrove Road near Trafalgar, Willow Grove and Hill End
- Mirboo North Trafalgar Road near Trafalgar
- Broadford-Flowerdale Road near Strath Creek
- Whittlesea-Yea Road near Yea
- Granya Road near Bullioh and Granya
- Mansfield Whitefield Road near Mansfield and Whitfield
- Old Sale Road, Shady Creek.
This is being delivered through a joint investment of $5 million from the Albanese Labor Governments Road Safety Program and $5.6 million Allan Labor Government through the Motorcycle Safety Levy.
Tragically this year 54 motorcyclists have lost their lives on Victorian roads, which is why we're continuing to deliver projects that make a real difference to motorcyclist safety.
