Install Traffic Lights at Oxley Highway Roundabouts


Install Traffic Lights at Oxley Highway Roundabouts
The issue
Every day, my partner, her parents and I, along with thousands of other drivers, experience traffic chaos on the Oxley highway while commuting to school and the hospital. This daily struggle is not only tiresome but also risky. The roundabouts at Lake Road and Wrights Road intersections are particularly dangerous. I firmly believe that the installation of traffic lights at these roundabouts would alleviate this issue considerably.
Statistically speaking, roundabouts with traffic lights have shown to be safer and more efficient. According to a study by the Monash University Accident Research Centre, installing traffic signals at roundabouts can reduce the number of severe crashes by up to 47%. Not only would traffic flow improve, but also the overall safety and wellbeing of everyone in Port Macquarie NSW, Australia.
This isn't just a personal concern, but rather a community-wide issue that requires immediate attention and action. Our city deserves better. Therefore, I am urging the local government of Port Macquarie NSW, Australia, and the respective traffic authorities to consider this earnest request and reinstate peace of mind for all Port Macquarie NSW residents. Please join us in signing this petition and make a change for better safety on our roads.
