As Victorian students head back to school, the Andrews Labor Government is making it safer and easier to get to class, with new innovative pedestrian crossing technology and electronic speed signs being rolled out across the suburbs.
Rolling out across the west, east and south east of Melbourne, 75 new dynamic pedestrian crossings will use sensors and high definition cameras to detect how many people are waiting at a crossing and adjust the crossing time accordingly – keeping students and families moving, and cutting idle time for motorists when crossings are quiet.
As part of the Labor Government’s $340 million investment in Victorian roads, the program is targeting intersections with high pedestrian traffic or near train stations, like Clarinda Primary School, St Joseph’s Primary School in Boronia and Heathdale Christian College in Werribee, as well as delivering 125 new electronic speed signs in school zones.

The Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation has approved the installation of 70 pokies machines in Truganina, despite community opposition and a unanimous vote against the proposal by Wyndham City Council.
Alliance for Gambling Reform chief advocate Rev Tim Costello told Paul Kennedy the outcome of the application - made by the Werribee Football Club and supported by State Member for Werribee Tim Pallas - was disappointing .
A VCGLR spokesperson said the commission considered the position of the (Werribee Football) Club and concerns raised by Council and other community groups in making its decision. After a two-day hearing last month, the Commission determined that the application on balance would have no net detriment to the well-being of the community of the City of Wyndham, the spokesperson said.
