Subject: warning of fault of warning trailer
Hi,
I did express earlier my concerns of the dangerous approach from the south coming up to the new light on the Princes Highway at Farrell Ave Loftus and was advised that there are permanent warning signs planned
Meanwhile there are two trailer mounted warning signs to advise motorists of the new lights, but one hasn’t worked for weeks and the second hasn’t worked since at least last Saturday.
Please pass this email on so this situation can be rectified, before a car is squashed between two semi trailers.
Thank you.
Regards
Hans Stephens

Hi ,
I sent this email earlier this week about a warning trailer sign not working.
On Tues this week there was another rear end accident at these traffic lights
Guess what, the trailer sign is still not working
It wouldn’t be look good if after I take the trouble to report a fault and 4 days later it’s still not fixed and there is a serious accident there.
Especially as it has been decided that permanent warning lights are being installed at the approaches to these lights.
Regards
Hans Stephens

Subject: Urgent attention needed
Hi,
I have emailed the road ministers office about a dangerous situation on the Princes Highway at Loftus. Sutherland shire and I’m “assured that your email will receive all necessary attention”.
There have been rear end accidents at new traffic lights at Farrell Ave, and the trailer warning signs approaching there from the south (while permanent flashing lights are installed) one of them hasn’t worked for weeks and the second has been off for at least 10 days.
Do we need a car crushed between two semi trailers before someone does something
The RMS wouldn’t be installing permanent warning lights unless there is a danger, so why does fixing the trailer signs take so long?
What will be the excuse if there is a bad accident there?
For photos and the emails I have sent, see my website www.shoolzonesanta.com
Regards
Hans Stephens
