When you go out driving, don’t motorists look for the shortest and easiest roads for their travels?
Spacious, well kept roads make for more comfortable driving so why do truck drivers persist in travelling down the main streets of Nuriootpa and Tanunda on their travels?
Wouldn’t it be best to take a more direct route to reach the Sturt Highway?
It cannot be argued that heavy vehicles heading down the main streets of our towns is not dangerous.
With the Barossa developing the idea that the area is cycle-friendly more and more cyclists are going to be touring the area and that is going to add to the danger.
The state government and councils have no problems changing the speed limits which can cause confusion for motorists - so how hard is it to stop trucks from travelling through the towns in the best interest of everyone?
