Another Day Another School Zone Lights Issue
A Greg from Princes Hwy Blakehurst just phoned me to advise that the RTA had dug an enormous hole in the footpath outside his home and was about to fill it with 7 tons of concrete, to support a huge pole that would have an arm across the road with a 40kmh sign on it. The problem is the pole will be directly in front of his front gate.
He asked me if I could do anything to stop the installation and get the pole installed in a more sensible location, such as on the boundary between his property and the next. He said the RTA "big wigs" would be on site around lunchtime today to consider his request.
This would seem to be another case of a total lack of planning and control on the part of the RTA.
PS. The flashing lights on the Princes Hwy Blakehurst that failed on Monday afternoon were once again not working this morning. The School Zone Santa took a photo of them at 8.43am showing the clock on the car wash in the background.
