Paper Petition

The Petition of residents of Queensland draws to the attention of the
House safety concerns regarding the intersection of Peregrine Drive and
Nicklin Way, Wurtulla.

Your petitioners therefore request the House to direct the Department of
Main Roads Queensland to install a right turn arrow at the intersection
of Peregrine Drive and Nicklin Way, Wurtulla. The reasons for this
request are: To allow for a time for motorists northbound on the Nicklin
Way to make right turn into Peregrine Drive without running the gauntlet
of oncoming southbound traffic on the Nicklin Way; Many elderly residents
make a right turn at this junction so as to access the village of
Parkhaven; Many of the residents of Parkhaven Village are senior citizens
and the current situation does not allow time for these senior citizens,
or any driver, to make the turn into their homes safely; Because of the
constant southbound stream of traffic the effort to get across the
Nicklin Way becomes a dangerous manoeuvre for all; The coming
installation of a right turn phase at Moondarra Drive will not alleviate
the problems at Peregrine Drive as there is no internal road system
connecting Moondarra Drive to the Parkhaven Village area.
