A petition to upgrade a local intersection has already attracted almost five-hundred signatures.

It says the current design doesn’t allow for roundabouts.

The online document attracted the signatures in just over a week.

Residents say they’ve seen many serious accidents including a fatal crash just before Christmas.

Mildura Rural City Council says it first approached VicRoads over the issue five years ago, and that traffic lights have been approved, but state funding is holding up installation.
