MAIN
ROADS — SAFE ZONES
624. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the minister representing the
Minister for Road Safety:
I
note recent media reports that Main Roads Western Australia provides a free
service so that motorists who experience a breakdown on a major freeway can call 138 138 and have their vehicle
towed to a safe zone. I also note that social media and talkback radio comments indicate that many in the public,
myself included, were unaware of this service. In light of recent
tragedies on our roads, where and how is this service currently advertised to
the public?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
On behalf of the Minister for
Mental Health, I ask everybody else to check their files. I do not have the
answer to that in this file. If it comes in before the end of question time, I will
provide the answer to the member.
