Greater Shepparton City Council wishes to advise of speed limit changes on Poplar Avenue and Orrvale Road.
To improve safety for road users the speed limit will be reduced to 80km/h.
The notorious Poplar Avenue and Orrvale Road intersection has been the site of many incidents, including fatal crashes and a two car collision as recently as September which put two people in hospital.
Greater Shepparton City Council Acting Director Infrastructure Tim Zak said the speed limit reduction was necessary to improve safety in the area.
“This is a dangerous intersection with a history of very serious collisions. It is essential that we make the necessary changes to improve safety for all road users,” he said.
Council advises motorists to be aware of the reduced speed limits when travelling in the area. New signage will be installed over the coming weeks.
For further information about the changes contact the Projects Department on (03) 5832 9700 or email projects@shepparton.vic.gov.au
