Ross Lane intersection is under review
The Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) is currently undertaking a review of the fatal intersection of the Pacific Highway and Ross Lane, Member for Ballina Don Page announced today.
Mr Page said he had received advice from the Parliamentary Secretary for Roads, Matt Brown MP, that the review will include the issue of speed zoning.
“The main problem is turning right from Ross Lane onto the Pacific Highway – the issue being sight distance and it being a 100km/h zone,” Mr Page said.
“I have received written advice that ‘the RTA is reviewing various intersections along the Pacific Highway to identify if any changes are necessary to improve road safety’. This includes the Ross Lane intersection.
“I understand that review has already commenced and monitoring of the Pacific Highway/Ross Lane intersection is under way.
“It is vital the safety and speed limit at this intersection are reviewed as it remains a notorious black spot.
“Many motorists use the Ross Lane intersection with the Pacific Highway every day and it is so important the safety of these motorists is ensured.”
