Implement Traffic Lights at the Hazardous Intersection in Bahrs Scrub QLD


Implement Traffic Lights at the Hazardous Intersection in Bahrs Scrub QLD
The issue
Every day, we drive past this perilous intersection in Bahrs Scrub QLD, Australia. Located on Belivah Road/Beaudesert Beenleigh Road, across the road from Bannockburn Woolworths. It's a part of our daily lives that has become increasingly fraught with danger due to frequent accidents. The lack of traffic lights at this intersection is not just an oversight; it's a ticking time bomb waiting to claim more victims.
The Australian Government’s Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications reported that in 2019 alone there were over 1,195 deaths due to road accidents across the country. While we don't have specific numbers for our intersection, it's clear from local experience and anecdotal evidence that it contributes more than it's fair share to these grim statistics.
This is not just about statistics or faceless numbers; every accident represents a life disrupted or even ended prematurely. Each one is someone's child or parent or friend. We cannot stand by idly while our community members are put at risk on their daily commute.
We urge the relevant authorities - local council and state government - to take immediate action by installing traffic lights at this dangerous intersection in Bahrs Scrub QLD. This simple measure could drastically reduce the number of accidents and save countless lives.
Please sign this petition today and help us make our roads safer for everyone who uses them.
