Design causes confusion Emily Beaumont Reporter

While the flush finish between the road and pavement on Queen
St is aesthetically pleasing, the lack of definition between the two appears to be confusing drivers. On Monday morning a driver attempting a U-turn on the re-
cently upgraded lower section, apparently confused her pedals, resulting in the car slamming into Tonic hair salon’s front window. Luckily no pedestrians were in the car’s path, nor any clients in
Tonic, and the driver escaped without injuries except possibly a dose of embarrassment and a bruised ego. Tonic’s owner Tonia Brydon says it’s only been a matter of time
before an incident of this nature occurred and the hassle of repairing her shop front was “annoying”.
