The Minister Replied:
(a) (i) Five complaints have been recorded with the Main Roads Traffic Control Centre. Following the opening of the Graham Farmer Freeway there were a number of other calls received in Main Roads concerning the effect of the Freeway on the surrounding road network, including Loftus Street. However, no record of these calls was made.
(ii) No record of these calls was made, however the number would be less than ten.
(b) - (c) The Traffic Control Centre officers regularly assess traffic, particularly in response to any concerns regarding operation, to optimise traffic flows. The assessments are based upon 'on-site' inspections and subsequent modification of signals to achieve optimum results. As such these assessments are not formalised and therefore not available for tabling.
