SPEED and pedestrian crossings in Loddon towns are expected to be higher on the agenda of the Calder Highway Improvement Committee.
Loddon Shire councillor Wendy Murphy was elected deputy chair of CHIC last week when the group had a briefing from the Department of Transport.
Cr Murphy said members were told the Safe System Solution investigation was focusing on speed limits in all towns.
She said it was hoped there would also be discussion on pedestrian crossings in Bridgewater and Wedderburn.
Cr Murphy said she wanted the investigations to consider reduced speed limits through Inglewood.
Town businesses and leaders have been calling for a 40kmh speed limit through town since a truck rollover on New Year’s Eve.
