Make the turn by the Northland Tunnel safer


Make the turn by the Northland Tunnel safer
The issue
I am asking local government to make it easier to see around this corner, as vision is blocked by the tunnel and parked cars. The options I propose are:
- convex mirror
- double yellow lines
As a resident and homeowner in Northland, I am concerned about the safety of the turn located by the Northland Tunnel on Northland Road. It is not only about the wellbeing of my family and neighbors, but also about ensuring that every individual who travels through this area feels secure. The current state of this turn poses significant risks to drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.
We implore the local council and relevant authorities to take immediate action, enhancing the safety of this turn. These initiatives are not only feasible, but necessary for the protection of our community.
This is a call to action for all residents of Northland, road users, and any individual who feels it applies to them. Let us come together to urge decision-makers to prioritize our safety and implement these changes. By signing this petition, you are taking a stand for a safer road for everyone.
The statistics provided by council do not account for near misses because they often aren't reported, as well as this turn is close to a 30km zone.
I have contacted Council about this issue already and responses given deny that there is a problem or a solution.
