ROAD SAFETY — NARRIKUP
1000. Hon JAMES HAYWARD to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to road safety in Narrikup.
(1) How does Main
Roads Western Australia rank roads for priority attention to address risks and
will the minister table the state's risk priority list?
(2) How many
deaths and serious injuries have been recorded on Albany Highway near Narrikup
in the past 20 years?
(3) How many more
deaths on roads near Narrikup does Main Roads need to occur for the risk
ranking to be upgraded for this stretch of road?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Main Roads
state road trauma risk priority lists are developed and reviewed each year, and
consider crash density and severity in relation to road environment aspects.
(2) Albany Highway between Spencer Road and Jackson
Road, between 1 January 2001 and 31 December 2020, has seen three fatal
crashes and two crashes resulting in hospitalisation.
(3) Risk rankings
are not based on target numbers.
