MR DOUGLAS JANNEY - 23 WATKINSON STREET, DEVONPORT The recommendation for Agenda Item 5.1 p13 & p40 is to renew the Wright St Norton Way intersection with the existing layout. Q
Why can’t the priority be changed by shifting several signs and some new road marks?
Response The City Engineer advised that option was briefly considered, it was noted that that arrangement would be uncommon and fairly confusing for motorists. With the number of heavy vehicles it wasn’t considered appropriate. This was also confirmed by the Department of State Growth.
