Probing safety of busy road link from Bright to Porepunkah

Community members are being urged to speak up on any safety concerns they have about a key thoroughfare between Bright and Porepunkah. Alpine Shire Council has put out its draft Back Porepunkah Road Safety Strategy on public exhibition, with the aim of gathering feedback from regular travellers about any significant safety concerns and potential safety improvements. The strategy is being funded under the TAC’s Local Government Grants Program, which supports Victorian councils to enhance road safety on their local road networks. As a key throughfare between the two towns, the safety strategy for Back Porepunkah Road seeks to investigate existing issues that relate to road safety, including - but not limited to - speed limits, intersection design, signage and line-marking, roadside hazards, and pedestrian and cycling facilities. Council said the Back Porepunkah Road has up to 2200 vehicle movements per day, with road and cycle traffic expected to increase into the future. You can read the draft strategy online (at https://engage.alpineshire.vic.gov.au/back-porepunkah-road-safety-strategy), provide comments on the Engage Alpine website and complete an online survey up until Monday, 8 September.
