Farmers are making this public road their personal parking lot
DEAR EDITOR,
The stretch of road from Number 19 to Crabwood Creek is becoming more and more treacherous because of farmers.
Tractors, Combines, Ploughs, Cage-wheels, water pumps, trailers etc. have taken up permanent real estate along the public road. It’s already a heavy-traffic and hazardous road and the farmers are not making it any easier. With the usual un-managed animals on the road, now we have to contend with agricultural machinery. The danger increases 10-fold, if a driver sways to avoid an animal, he/she will most likely collide with parked agricultural machinery.
Pedestrians including school children sometimes have to walk almost into the path of oncoming traffic to navigate their way. Bicycles have to compete with cars and truck for road access.
Most of these farmers have big yard-space where they could store their equipment; it’s time for drastic measures to be taken to make the public road safer and more accessible to all.
Numerous accidents occur which results in many deaths, it’s time for the policy makers and police to make the public road safer.
