How dangerous is Ridge Rd, Pokeno?

Briar Hubbard Reporter from Franklin County News

Hi Neighbours,
We have spoken to a couple on Ridge Rd in Pokeno who say the 100km speed limit is ridiculous, due to the winding roads and sharp S bend.

Hi Neighbours,
We have spoken to a couple on Ridge Rd in Pokeno who say the 100km speed limit is ridiculous, due to the winding roads and sharp S bend.

They want the speed limit lowered, speed advisory signs, and an S bend warning sign erected to help lower the number of incidents on their road.

What do you think?
Do you drive on this road often - do you think it is dangerous?
Should the speed limit be lowered?
Would lowering the speed limit and erecting signs make a difference?

Please add NP to your comment if you do not wish for it to be used in print.
