Stop the bubble-wrapping

You can tell local councillors don't commute.

Woy Woy Rd is frustrating enough when you're lined up behind 20 people doing 70km/h along there in peak hour.

Now it's a line-up of 50 people doing 55km/h.

If the local council was so concerned about our safety, they would have repaired the guard rail by now.

The accident which damaged it on both sides happened over a month ago.

This is just another opportunity for them to assign police to the area in the hope of collecting speeding fines.

It is also ridiculous that, when turning right into Woy Woy Rd from Central Coast Highway at Kariong, there is a red arrow during peak hour while the light is green for highway traffic.

Commuters now have to back up across both intersections and it is causing traffic bank ups for the entirety of peak hour.

If the council thinks they're keeping us safe by bubble wrapping us, all they're doing is increase driver frustration.

There are many multi-lane intersections in Sydney, often near curves which are blind when traffic is lined up, which allow cars to turn right when the main light is green.

Why can we not have this at the Kariong intersection?

There is plenty of visibility and plenty of opportunities to move through the intersection.
