I completely agree with Clive Jeffery when he points out that the new pedestrian crossing near the Commonwealth Bank is not only badly placed but an accident waiting to happen.
Off the 50km road and into town, around the roundabout and into the corner leading into the main street and ‘ba boom’ – suddenly there’s someone in the middle of the road, just cruising, taking their time, because they’re protected by the lines on the road. Madness. If you’re not nimble enough to negotiate the road without crossing at that point, then toddle a few metres up the road and cross between the Middle Pub and Santos. Just what is the point here?
