Safety concern for Mango Hill Boulevard as bridge is set to open in time for school

0

School’s back and Mango Hill Boulevard is set to open – but will things run smoothly?

Residents of Mango Hill are concerned that an intersection just metres from the school is an accident waiting to happen with vehicles regularly ignoring the stop sign.

Our short video above, shows motorists clearly ignoring the stop sign.

The Big Local team spent 20 minutes at the intersection today, witnessing every vehicle breaking the law by either not stopping or stopping past the marked line, raising the question, is the intersection able to cope with an increased volume of traffic safely? Have your say on the Facebook Page.

Many residents believe that the line-marking for the intersection is placed too far back on Bonnet Parade to allow motorists a clear view to proceed, resulting in motorists edging into the intersection to see if they have clear passage.

Failing to stop at a stop line at an intersection without traffic lights will land you a $330 fine and the loss of 3 demerit points. Source – Demerit points schedule.

Council have been tagged in our Facebook post and are being made aware of the problem. We will keep you up to date on any action taken.
