Fix ‘danger’ road By Brendan Rees Residents are calling for an urgent fix to a busy intersection in Cranbourne North where they fear someone will be injured or killed. Neighbour Rebecca Hyland the William Thwaites Boulevard and Glasscocks Road intersection was dangerous as traffic continued to increase in the fast-growing area. "You will see that most of the lines are faded and definitely impossible to see in the wet," she said. "A lot of people are scared of that intersection." According to Ms Hyland there have been many near misses and accidents and she's even witnessed a dog being hit by a car on Glasscocks Road. "The speed limit is too fast for the current conditions, lowering the speed limit is surely is a short term fix," she said. Tim, who did not want his surname published, agreed the intersection was dangerous saying its design was confusing motorists. "No one knows road rules, in terms of which car goes first," he said. "What do you do? I've got to anticipate four or five different cars and what they're going to do. He also fears for the safety of children walk-
ing to and from the Berwick Springs Junior Football Club. "It needs some sort of traffic management there," Tim said. Resident David Cunningham said: "Traffic lights will help absolutely ... with the two intersections the way they are now people get inpatient." Casey manager of city and asset planning Keri New said council met with residents on site to discuss possible options to improve road and pedestrian safety at the intersection. This included reduced speed limits, additional signage, line marking, pedestrian crossing points and signalised intersections. Ms New said council has prioritised a design for a centre median refuge to be installed on Glasscocks Road between Mountainview Boulevard and The Esplanade. "This refuge would allow pedestrians to stage their crossing and reduce the crossing distance required in a single movement," she said. Ms Hyland said she was explained in an email from council that they have organised for traffic surveys to be undertaken along Glasscocks Road in the next couple of weeks. "Once the data has been received, council will approach VicRoads to discuss the speed limit," the email stated.

Students at Tooradin Primary School got into character during their recent Book Week celebrations. They immersed themselves in the wonder of stories and books and paraded around the school grounds dressed as their favourite character.
"Book Week is a well-loved highlight each year when we can highlight the importance of books in our learning and allow the characters to step out of the pages and flourish," teacher Natalie Rodrigues said. Students also invited their parents and friends during the week to share their fun of reading.
