Seat safety questioned

Driving through the new Matakana link road roundabout, a new expensive concrete, steel and wood set of park benches have been installed.

Number 1, who do they think is going to sit and relax two metres from the very busy roundabout traffic; and number 2, anybody with absolutely any motor racing knowledge would say straight away, the seats are at the apex of the corner, right where if ever there is a crash, this is where it’s going to occur.

A fundamental safety issue, all paid for by taxpayers money! I suppose next, they’ll correct the safety issue by installing an even more expensive “Armco” between the seats and the road!
