Byron Road, which connects the critical Heath and Ingleburn Roads in Leppington NSW, has recently undergone an upgrade, transforming it into a pivotal route for many commuters. Nestled between two schools and weaving through a residential area bustling with families and children, Byron Road witnesses significant pedestrian activity on a daily basis. The proximity of Leppington Oval also brings about increased foot traffic, particularly on weekends when families flock to enjoy the outdoor spaces, and soccer games often parking in adjacent streets and crossing the road.

This transformation, while beneficial for traffic fluidity, has given rise to new safety concerns. With smoother roads, the incidence of speeding has notably increased, endangering the lives of school children, families, and weekend sports enthusiasts. The necessity for speed reduction measures is now urgent to prevent potential accidents and ensure the safety of our community.

Installing speed breakers is a practical and effective solution to curb speeding on Byron Road. These structures force drivers to slow down, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and making the road safer for all its users, especially the vulnerable pedestrians.

It's imperative that we act swiftly to protect our community from the dangers posed by speeding vehicles. I urge our local council and traffic authorities to acknowledge the safety threats and take immediate action by installing speed breakers on Byron Road. This measure will greatly enhance the safety and security of all residents, school children, and pedestrians who traverse this busy street.

Let us prioritize the safety of our families and ensure Byron Road remains a safe and pleasant route for everyone. Sign this petition to support the installation of speed breakers on Byron Road and foster a safer environment for our community.
