Intersection safety changes considered CHANGES to the intersections of Nepean Highway, Station Street, and McLeod Road in Carrum are being considered. The level crossing at Station Street in Carrum was removed in February 2020. At the same time the intersection of Station Street and McLeod Road changed from a t-intersection to a multi-leg cross intersection. In November 2020 a 75-year-old woman was killed in a car crash at the intersection of Station Street and McLeod Road. A survey on potential changes to the intersection is now underway. The VicRoads website reads that responses “will help inform planning for future safety improvements at the intersection.” “Please note this is an investigative study at this stage and funding for potential improvements would be considered in future funding programs,” VicRoads said. The survey is open until Sunday 25 February 2024.
