Today's Question On Notice is to the Minister Main Roads. Residents of the Albert Electorate are continuing to express their frustration at extensive traffic congestion on the western side of the M1 Motorway at Exit 57 Oxenford.

Last night in Parliament, I spoke about the need for a second arterial road between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, The Inter-Regional Transport Corridor. Every time there is an accident on the M1 Motorway, the road network goes into meltdown.

Yesterday I spent the morning with Tim Nicholls discussing the Albert Electorate. High up on the list of priorities was Exit 49.

It may of seemed a simple task to have a 60kmh sign moved but in this case it was years in the making.
