New bike priority signals will soon be switched on at Footscray’s Parker and Whitehall streets.
The installation of the signals was part of the state government’s $1.8 million election spending package to improve safety.
Greens MP for the western suburbs Colleen Hartland said better safety would encourage cyclists.
“It’s taken a few years of campaigning with the cycling community to get this bike black spot fixed, so I’m very happy,” she said.
