Feedback from the Merrivale Primary School community has indicated there are concerns that some motorists do not adhere to the 40km/h speed limit on the stretch of road.

Council is seeking additional feedback after choosing Merrivale Drive for its creating a safe environment for all road users project.

"The intention of the project is to identify barriers to walking and cycling along Merrivale Drive and to make it a safe space for all road users," a council spokesman said. He said the council would investigate a range of options to make it safer for all users. "This may include a range of priority projects to make walking and cycling safer," he said.

"Collaboration with the community enhances prospects of obtaining external funding for any work."

The spokesman said the council would be asking residents, police and members of the school community for further feedback.

Merrivale Drive was selected for the project for a number of reasons, including the fact that it provides the only access into the school/oval and the local neighbourhood, census data reveals more people ride bikes for transport in Merrivale than in any other Warrnambool neighbourhood and the school has been promoting walk to school for the past decade.

Other concerns raised about Merrivale Drive were that cars were travelling around corners too quickly onto Merrivale Road and it was dangerous to cross Scott Street.

The project is part of the council's Warrnambool 2040 plan, which aims to encourage most children to walk or cycle to school daily, encourage most adults to walk or cycle for transport and ensure no road accidents in the city result in a serious injury or death for drivers, cyclists or pedestrians.
