A "Horse Crossing" for Travers St, Wagga Wagga


A "Horse Crossing" for Travers St, Wagga Wagga
The issue
There is currently no formal Horse Crossing for the section of Travers Street where horses cross to access the Murrumbidgee Turf Club in the mornings. This section of road between Beckwith Street and the Olympic Highway is currently a 60 km/h zone. There have been a number of incidents where a horse and rider have narrowly escaped injury due the speed of passing cars. The outcome this petition aims for is the installation of a "Horse Crossing". It would be similar to that of a school zone with solar powered flashing crossing signs with a reduced speed limit to 40 km/h between 4am and 10am Monday to Saturday. The aim of this petition is to reduce the number of near collisions between cars and horses on this section of road.
