Calls for 'drifters' corner' in Christchurch to be changed before someone is killed
Hey neighbours,
Three crashes within 24 hours on a newly redesigned Christchurch road has residents concerned the “drifters’ corner” will become a death trap.
One resident is calling for the corner on Worsleys Rd in Cracroft to be completely re-engineered before someone is killed.
A transport engineer has also criticised the new bend, saying it is designed like a racetrack. But the subdivision developer behind the design stands by the new layout, saying it is safer than the tight corner it replaced.
