Traffic lights unnecessary

I was wondering if the decision, made by Gosford Council, to install traffic lights all over the Peninsula received some input from the local ratepayers.

Or was it taken without any consultation with Woy Woy and Umina Beach road users, who might have preferred to see roundabouts (what ever their cost is) built instead?

The traffic plan implemented around the railway station KMart area was a huge fiasco.

Totally unnecessary traffic lights have popped up along Blackwall Rd and now Chris Holstein wants to do likewise along Ocean Beach Rd.

My question, therefore, is: Is that what we really want?

Gone forever are the good old days when we were quite proud to show visiting friends that our once-beautiful Peninsula was devoid of traffic lights.

Now we've got to go to Airlie Beach (Queensland) to enjoy such rarity.
