How Long?
I emailed the NSW Road minister last December about the new traffic lights at loftus and how they needed flashing warning light, and after numerous accidents I ended up putting up my own large sign to warn motorists. Even though I was told by the road minister's office that flashing lights would be installed BEFORE Christmas, and they are still not finished.
I did ask when the lights would be completed a while ago with no response.

Subject: completion date
Hi,
Last November I emailed your office about a road safety issue at a new set of traffic lights on the Princes Highway at Farnell Ave Loftus.
I received the following reply email from someone at your office.
I’ve highlighted in red, in the email the sentence) “The lights at Rawson are expected to be installed shortly, with the lights at Farnell expected to be installed prior to Christmas.”
I don’t know who advised you of the completion date of the installation, but the photo I took on Sunday21th March shows the” prior to Christmas” bit is somewhat misleading.
Can you find out for me and the thousands or fellow motorists using this highway when this important work will be finished?
Thank you for your time
Regards
Hans Stephens

Thankfully there is a trailer warning sign advising North bound motorists of the "new" traffic lights ahead, but why don't they just finish the sign put in the two flashing lights? How much has the RMS been charged by trailer sign hire company since January more than $100 a day I would think I asked prices back in 2005 and was told the RTA rate was $115 a day plus $70 drop off,and $70 pick up.
How much do a couple of flashing lights and the electronics needed to syncronise with the traffic lights cost?
