An accident waiting to happen [Letter to the editor]

Northam – The main four-way stop in Northam is a nightmare every morning and afternoon. Road rage is the order of the day – and just about nobody follows the right-of-way rule. I also haven’t seen any traffic officials recently…? Surely this situation is their responsibility to manage. I think they only come out when an accident is reported. This 4-way stop is dangerous on so many levels. Many parents who have to drop off their kids at Viva Garage to catch the school bus, fear for their children’s safety. Something needs to be done.

It is absolute chaos every morning and evening at this four-way stop.
