  1. Struggle with this every day, even at different times. Especially when the dog show is on and those wanting to enter the dog show ground use the turning lane and force us residence to wait even longer.
    It will take one of their dogs to be killed before they drive Upto the roundabout to drive in safely!

  2. Strongly agree that something needs to be done before a serious accident occurs or do we have to wait for that to happen?

  3. The exit and entry into Crocket Street from Hillsborough Road, is a nightmare, Turning right to get onto Hillsborough Road from Crocket street can be banked up with about 7-10 cars waiting to get onto Hillsborough ROad. I agree that between 7.30 and 9.30 each morning and again from 4pm you may as well try to find an alternative route as you will not be able to turn right to get onto hillsborugh road from Crocket steet. Traffic LIghts would be a blessing. You may still have to wait a while, but at least you’d get your turn. Presently unless some nice driver on Hillsborough Road allows you to turn in front of him, you just sit and see a stream of more cars waiting to turn right into Crockett street and you have to give way to them. Something should be done.;
