MOTORISTS are urged to take care at the Hamilton Rd end of the New Norfolk Bridge, which has been the scene of at least five car crashes since Wednesday.
A three-car pileup on Wednesday was followed by a single-vehicle accident when a car is believed to have crashed into a shop later that night.
Further reports have been received of another single-vehicle accident at the junction on Friday evening and two more earlier this evening.
It's a good thing that the alleged blackspot at Burnett/Montague is being fixed before this shocker of an intersection. Will they be able to put in a roundabout as needed? or do the trucks prevent that from happening?
ReplyDeletei believe a roundabout same as top of bridge would enable trucks to go through, ease congested lanes they would flow easier allow better view of oncoming traffic .... really seems a call for roundabout with all accidents of last week
ReplyDeleteIncompetent drivers are the cause of these crashes, nothing wrong with that intersection. Nothing wrong with area near Bush Inn either - simple bit of paint on the road indicating right turn would solve it. What a waste of money better spent elsewhere.
