Delivering safer roads
People living in and around the Hawkesbury will have a safer trip home thanks to more than $ 3.6 million in Albanese Government funding to improve five known crash sites under the 2024 – 25 Black Spot Program .
The Blackspot Program will fund $ 730,000 of safety improvements to Old Pitt Town Road at Oakville , installing curve alignment markers , flexible barriers on the roadside , motorcycle underrun on existing semi-rigid barrier and guideposts with reflectors and improving the sealed shoulder .
The Black Spot Program funds a range of safety measures at locations where serious crashes have occurred or are at risk of occurring . Other local black spot sites receiving funding are this round are : - Freemans Reach Road at Freemans Reach will receive $ 680,000 for audiotactile centre line , curve alignment markers , guideposts with reflectors and flexible barrier on roadside . Install motorcycle underrun on existing semirigid barrier and mark barrier line .
- Tennyson Road at Tennyson will receive $ 900,000 to install a flexible barrier on roadside , guideposts with reflectors , curve alignment markers and motorcycle underrun on existing semirigid barrier .
- Spinks Road at Freemans Reach will receive $ 780,000 for a motorcycle underrun , curve alignment markers , raised islands with additional stop , a flexible barrier on roadside and guideposts with reflectors . This funding will also be used to seal a section of the shoulder of Spinks Road .
- Hanckel Road at Oakville will receive $ 530,000 to install a motorcycle underrun , guideposts with reflectors , raised islands with additional stop , a flexible barrier on roadside and to remove sight distance restrictions at intersection . The Australian Government has substantially increased Black Spot Program funding , which is progressively rising from $ 110 million to $ 150 million per year .
This is part of the Government ’ s response to the worsening road toll which includes progressively doubling Roads to Recovery funding from $ 500 million to $ 1 billion a year and delivering a nationally harmonised set of high-quality and timely data to inform road safety decision making .
Susan Templeman , Federal Member for Macquarie commented , “ At these locations we ’ ve seen a high number of incidents . This makes them a clear case for the safety improvements that were announced in August . I know there is more work to be done to improve the safety of Hawkesbury roads and encourage anyone who knows of a dangerous road location near them to consider submitting a nomination for future funding rounds .
“ Road safety , of course , is a shared responsibility , and this is a timely reminder to be extra vigilant and to slow down on the roads so everyone can get home safely from every journey .”
