Bellbowrie Traffic Lights
Wednesday, 06 April 2011 10:02
Police inform me that numerous motorists continue to do U turns at the newly installed traffic lights on the corner of Birkin Road and Moggill Road at Bellbowrie.
Local police have issued dozens of cautions and to date have avoided the issue of infringements notices.
It is understood that many local residents have been doing a U turn at this intersection for decades.
Whilst these turns have become illegal since the installation of the lights, residents have continued to do them.
I have requested the Main Roads Department reconfigure the intersection so the intersection would be upgraded to a standard that would allow a U turn permitted sign.
In the interim, requests have been made by local police, local Councillor Margaret de Wit and myself to have a No U turn sign erected to remind local residents that future enforcement will involve traffic infringement notices rather than the warnings that have been issued for some months.
