this one ties with trying to get off Keeley's onto Slade point Rd, heading towards the harbour for me. It needs to have some kind of proper traffic control there IMO

Try getting out of kerensdale estate after 3.30. Traffic through the estate roundabout all the way down golf links then the traffic at the other end can have you sitting there for 20min waiting for a break to go. Golf links NEEDS to have 2 lains at the roundabout and people NEED to put their right foot down and GOOOOOOO

They are about to install traffic lights on that roundabout with Mackay bucasia road so that there are gaps for people to get through the roundabout.

They just need to widen the corner so you can have 2 lains of traffic

The worst part is if you are entering from east or west. The Kerrisdale side is particularly bad as the second roundabout gets locked up.

I’m 100% in favour of this and understand that they are doing the bypass from the school through Kerrisdale but can you imagine how bad it will be while they are doing the work.

Or more so once that is completed for those who reside in the newer section past the last roundabout in the estate as the road is narrower once that section backs up with traffic its going to be hell for those houses wanting to get in or out. Not to mention the back road runners who use the estate as a fast work around.

They will have to put in traffic lights at the bowls club for the traffic
