Mookhey, Daniel to the
Minister for Primary Industries, Minister for Regional Water, Minister for Trade and Industry representing the Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight

A constituent advised me that a road accident occurred around 4:30pm Friday
9 March 2018 on the M1 motorway. The constituent advised that no contraflow
measures appeared to be in place or initiated. This constituent's trip to the
Central Coast from Sydney usually takes 1 hour and 15 minutes, but on this
occasion the duration of the trip was close to 4 hours. Regarding this
incident:
- Did Roads and Maritime Services undertake any contraflow or similar
initiatives to reduce journey delays for motorists?
- If not, why not?
- What action was taken to help effected motorists?
- If no action was taken, why was it not taken?
- What action did any agency under the Minister's portfolio take to help
effected motorists?
- If no action was taken, why not?
- What is Roads and Maritime Services' existing policy for reducing journey
delays for motorists on the M1 effected by road incidents?
- Was the policy implemented?
- if not, why not?
- If there is no such policy, why is there not one?

I am advised:
The M1 incident response plan details strategies and procedures used to
manage traffic at and around major incidents on the M1. Strategies and
procedures from the plan were implemented.
