The traffic lights on Kamo Road are causing some frustration.

The traffic lights on Kamo Road are causing some frustration.

Sitting in the heat at the lights on Kamo Road at the intersection of the former Countdown is surely no fun especially when the light turns green and NO traffic moved a centimetre, then on the next change only three cars were able to drive through. Meanwhile the queue got longer and longer!

No wonder drivers run red lights when the light phases are as bad as this. Please, somebody, fix the phasing so we do not have to sit in the heat.

Twenty nine thousand dollars of ratepayers money spent on an old rusty truck that was used as a sign would have gone a long way towards cleaning up many berms in the city. Why are the council wasting so much money? Have a closer look at the finances and the way you spend our hard earned money councillors!
