TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
Electors of Nicklin draws to the attention of the House that the Mapleton community is concerned about the safety of pedestrians and drivers in the business centre of Mapleton with the current speed limit of 60 km/hr. The narrow Obi Obi Road and the complicated K intersection of Obi Obi Road, Post Office Road and Flaxton Drive in the village centre pose unacceptable safety risks at the current speed limit.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to improve road safety. We the undersigned request that the present school zone with its speed limit of 40 km/hr be made a permanent 24/7 speed limit with the northern boundary of the zone, on Nambour-Mapleton Road, extended north to include the K Intersection.
