Moruya resident Pete Ward, who owns the Coila Service Station, said the problem was impatient drivers, not the speed. 

Putting a stop sign at the intersection, instead of a give way sign, was a better idea, Mr Ward said. 

“A stop sign would make drivers stop and have a look before they turn out,” he said.  

“There are no issues with the intersection, it is so clear.

“It doesn't need 80 kilometres per hour, it needs Tuross people to stop being impatient.

“They cut in front of cars and motorbikes when they are only 100 yards away.”

Mr Ward said people treated cars like lounge chairs, and not weapons. 

“Cars are dangerous,” he said. 

“A bad accident is going to happen there soon.

“Generally, if you drive to the conditions and you don't tailgate, if you indicated when you are merging and if you stay on the left you wont have an accident. 

“Reducing the speed is not going to stop the issue; people are still going to cut in front of cars and cause accidents because they are being impatient.”

Mr Ward said the North Head Road used to have a similar issue. 

“It’s impatience, it used to be North Head Road and people were getting killed there on a regular basis,” he said. 

“No one has been killed at Tuross.”

“Someone has already said they want to put a round-a-bout there in the middle of the Princes Highway.

A Roads and Maritime Services spokeswoman said they had reviewed the intersection earlier this year. 

“RMS found the 100 kilometre per hour speed limit, line marking and sign posting was appropriate,” she said. 

“When determining and reviewing speed limits, crash history, road alignment and the level of development taking place are all considered.

“In the ten years from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2014 there were three recorded crashes, including one injury crash.”
