Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House the need to reduce the speed limit from 100 kph to 80 kph at the David Drive and Bruce Highway at the Puma service station at Curra, Queensland. There was recently a four vehicle collision at this site which resulted in the hospitalisation of some vehicle occupants. This is a very busy service station and has many vehicles taking risks to merge onto the Bruce Highway. The problem has seen many other similar incidents further south at the Purcell Drive and Bruce Highway intersection.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to take all actions necessary to ensure that the Department of Main Roads investigate the numerous accidents and near misses at the David Drive and Bruce Highway at the Puma service station at Curra, Queensland and reduce the speed limit from 100 kph to 80 kph around the site.
