“ We found that this improved lane visibility during wet conditions , helped driver decision making and taught drivers to be on the alert , reduce their speed and drive carefully .”
“ We ’ re happy with the results and expect it to be endorsed as a suitable treatment for other major roadwork sites .”
FUTURE FOCUS The project team is planning the remaining four sections ; Princes Freeway to Western Highway , Sunshine Avenue to Calder Freeway , Sydney Road to Edgars Road and Plenty Road to Greensborough Highway .
“ These important planning activities will help determine the most appropriate way to upgrade future sections of the M80 Ring Road ,” Mr . Boyd said .
“ The remaining sections will be considered for funding in a future program and prioritised based on traffic volumes and safety .”
“ In the meantime , drivers , industry and local residents can enjoy safer travel , improved traffic flow and greater reliability with the completed sections setting the standard for future improvements in Melbourne ’ s north-west road network .”
