I refer to the answer given to question without notice 641 on 15 September regarding the intersection of Great Eastern Highway and Roe Highway in Bellevue-Midvale. (1) What is the state average for crashes at intersections for the years 2002, 2003 and 2004 and for 2005 to date? (2) Given the minister’s previous answer that this intersection is ranked 23 in the state for frequency of crashes, how many intersections are ranked as part of this data sampling? (3) Will the minister confirm that approximately 60 000 vehicles pass through this intersection every day? Hon ADELE FARINA

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) The calculation of a state average for crashes at intersections is not a meaningful measure, as intersections have different characteristics, configurations and traffic volumes and types. Accordingly, Main Roads uses the actual crash data reported to the police to rank intersections. (2) The crash ranking provided is based on crashes reported to the police and therefore covers all intersections where a report has been made over a five-year period. There are 14 050 such intersections currently on the database. (3) The current volume of vehicles passing through this intersection is not available. However, a recent 12-hour traffic count carried out on a typical weekday in May 2005 indicated that 47 000 vehicles entered the intersection between 7.00 am and 7.00 pm.
