Merging southbound
Posted on 31-08-2018 15:29 | By TRGNick
Saw the aftermath of this accident this morning - this looked to be the result of a car turning south out of Barrett Road onto the flush median to then attempt to merge into the SH2 southbound traffic. This new road layout allowing / encouraging merging off the flush median is a recipe for disaster. I probably have a near miss there at least one morning per week now.
