Drivers vent on fury road

A KEY section of road around Inverleigh, connecting Geelong and the state’s west, is in a terrible state of disrepair, prompting authorities to drop the speed limit from 100km/h to maintain safety.

Vision zero. Not with a major state and interstate highway in this disgraceful state. And many trucks and cars ignore 80km/h signs anyway. The minister should hang his head in embarrassment. John Bolitho

Yep, the Andrews Government’s answer to fixing country roads — lower the speed limit, bang in some speed cameras and go for the lowest tender when it comes to repairs or du- plicating roads. That’s going to get you some votes. Russell Lymer

Here’s an idea — get it fixed. Sheree Lamprell

What bloody road isn’t in Geelong? All the roads are crap. The stupid bloody Christmas tree is more of a concern and the over-budget spending on it. Ratepayers foot the excess. Lyn Warren

Lowering the speed is a lazy op- tion. We need it fixed and an overtaking lane in that area too. Robyn Kerdel

The road is in terrible condition all the way to Hamilton. Daniel Andrews and his government are a joke when it comes to keeping Victorians safe on country roads. Michael Patterson

Victorian highway in the far west has a speed limit of 60km/h for two or three kilometres. Sign says “rough surface”. Bloody neglected for too long. Melbourne-centric. John Feery

Millions for level crossings in Mel- bourne and nothing for roads in Geelong and southwest Victoria. Doug Gilham

All they do is patch it, then it rains, and it all crumbles. I’ve watched this process for the past 17 years. Lisa Luketic

The Hamilton Highway needs the same focus and roadwork as what was committed to the Princes Highway between Geelong and Colac. It’s too busy to just have patch work done. Jozef Horvat

Bacchus Marsh Rd is another shocking road to drive along too. Eliana Virgona
