SIR, – Last year was a horrendous year on the Western Highway.
The non-duplicated section of the highway is no longer fit for purpose and needs urgent upgrading right through to the South Australian border.
Traffic intensity on the highway, including heavy trucks and nowadays road trains too, has made the highway unsafe for all users.
Lack of passing and turning lanes for all side roads on a major interstate highway is inexcusable, especially when there is a high concentration of trucks on the roads.
