Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House Queensland Transport’s neglect of the D’Aguilar Highway and motorists’ safety which exists between Caboolture and Kingaroy.  With only several overtaking lanes along its entire length of 164 km in either direction and very limited areas where overtaking can safely occur which are also then limited because of oncoming traffic.  Most overtaking lanes are that short that only one vehicle is able to pass/overtake a slow vehicle making other vehicles wait behind for many more kilometres before another opportunity to safely pass slow vehicles arises.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to take immediate action to fund and install multiple new overtaking lanes in both directions along its entire length and increase the length of existing short ones as a matter of urgency for the safety of all motorists.
