Fix Our
Crossing.

To: office@aitchison.minister.nsw.gov.au CC: office@graham.minister.nsw.gov.au Subject: Pedestrian Crossing, Mayne Street Murrurundi — Formal Notice of Known Hazard Dear Minister Aitchison, I am writing to formally place on record that the pedestrian crossing on Mayne Street (New England Highway), Murrurundi is a known and unaddressed safety hazard. The crossing has no pedestrian signal lights. It is poorly signed and almost invisible among the surrounding buildings and street furniture. Drivers — including those in speeding cars, B-doubles and semi-trailers — frequently do not see it, or the pedestrians on it, until it is too late. Vehicles routinely fail to stop. Murrurundi has a significant elderly and vulnerable population who depend on this crossing to access shops, services and community facilities. The risk of serious injury or death is real, immediate and well documented by this community. This email serves as notice that the hazard has been reported to you directly. I respectfully request that Transport for NSW act urgently to: • Install pedestrian signal lights • Improve signage and road markings so the crossing is clearly visible to drivers • Review surrounding street furniture and vegetation that obscures the crossing • Reduce speed limits through this section Your government's own 2026 Road Safety Action Plan commits to halving road deaths by 2030, with a focus on regional communities. This crossing is exactly the kind of preventable hazard that plan was written for. I trust this will be treated with the urgency it deserves. Yours sincerely, [Your name] [Your address, Murrurundi NSW 2338]
