Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said five notorious black spots would be fixed.
"I have attended devastating road crashes at Plummers Lane at Clybucca when previously working as a police officer," he said.
"I am so pleased this dangerous stretch near Summer Island Road will finally be fixed along with two others on regional roads at Crescent Head and Yarrahapinni.
"Two busy intersections in Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie will also be improved: the intersection of Combine Street and Azalea Avenue in Coffs and Gordon and Hollingworth Streets in Port Macquarie.
"Nobody knows dangerous blackspots better than locals, so I encourage you to nominate projects you would like to see done under future funding rounds."
