Hi I live in Mabbett Lane, have done for 36 years. There is a 100k sign as you come up the hill on the left it is before Mabbett Lane. Consequently we get people speeding up the hill & down the hill. The sign should be moved right around the corner over the brow of the hill, so that traffic has slowed before it gets to the area of housing. There have been lots of accidents over the years but now the volume of traffic has increased so much it is really quite dangerous to turn right down the hill. The was a car that rolled earlier in the year & ended up in the farmers paddock, & just today another car speeding down the hill lost control & slammed into a fence post on the left. It really is too dangerous for people to walk this stretch of Highway 16. Please can we just have the sign moved?
