Subject: Danger on the highway at Loftus 

 

 

 

Dear Minister Gay,

 

 The RMS has put in a new set of traffic lights at Farrell Ave and Princes Highway at Loftus. 

 

Great idea, but there is a big problem (apparently,) for traffic approaching these set of lights from the South.

 

The lights are past a bend and judging by the numerous long skid marks there is a lot of panic stopping by trucks coming up behind traffic stopped for the lights.

 

There were two warning trailer signs approaching the lights from the South and now there is one, and the panic stopping is happening with the warning sign/s.

 

WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE LAST WARNING SIGN IS TAKEN AWAY?

 

How long will it be before there is an accident with a mangled car wedged between two trucks?

 

Could you please consider my suggestion of a set of flashing lights on the overhead signage already there to lessen the danger before something tragic happens?

 

Yours faithfully 

 

Hans Stephens
