The State Government has introduced a new 50km/h speed limit on Main Street in Gembrook to make it safer for drivers, pedestrians, and school children to get where they need to go.
This speed limit change, driven by the Gembrook community, will span from Gembrook-Launching Place Road to Bromby Street.
“There is nothing more important than keeping our community safe and these upgrades will ensure everyone, including our students at Gembrook Primary, can get to where they need to go safely,” Monbulk MP Daniela De Martino said.
“Thank you to all those who took the time to meet with me or contact me to advocate for road safety upgrades along Main Street – this has truly been a community effort.”
Main Street is a busy thoroughfare that passes Gembrook Primary School – the street sees around 2,600 vehicles pass through each day including buses and trucks.
The State Government will install four electronic speed limit signs between Bromby Street and Banks-Smith Drive. These signs will alert drivers the new speed limit and to slow down at the school zone.
Crews are expected to complete works to install the electronic speed limit signs by late 2024.
