A SOLUTION possibly to the<br />

chronic traffic congestion that the<br />

Halswell Junction Rd and Springs<br />

Rd roundabout causes.<br />

If you don’t get away to work<br />

early, getting through the roundabout<br />

and onto the Southern<br />

Motorway means a 15min or so<br />

backlog to Prebbleton.<br />

This has been happening for a<br />

long time now and will get worse<br />

as the motorway extension work<br />

kicks up another gear.<br />

So the powers that be will<br />

install a traffic signal (see page 1)<br />

at the roundabout to combat the<br />

2km of traffic that backs up on<br />

weekdays.<br />

Once you get to the roundabout<br />

it’s a game of dodgems getting<br />

across and around into the motorway<br />

flow.<br />

That can be exciting, or fearful,<br />

depending on what kind of person<br />

you are behind the wheel.<br />
