Neighbourhood Watch member Terry Williams is ramping up his campaign for lighting at the intersection of Round Ridge Road and the Mount Lindesay Highway at Jimboomba.
Mr Williams said he originally raised the issue in 2015, but felt as if the intersection had been forgotten by all levels of government.
“There’s going to be more major accidents here if we don’t do anything about the safety here,” he said.
Mr Williams said he would like to see solar lighting installed to illuminate and make motorists aware of the intersection.
“I cannot see why they can’t put in those portable type solar lights like they did down at Camp Cable Road during that upgrade,” he said.
“I haven’t done a costing, but once they were installed surely there wouldn’t be further costs to any level of government.”
Beaudesert MP Jon Krause said he had again taken up lobbying for safety improvements to the intersection after further concerns were raised by Neighbourhood Watch in February.
“Safety concerns at Round Ridge Road have been constantly raised by residents in the past two years,” he said.
Mr Krause said the Department of Transport and Main Roads was still investigating what to do at the intersection, almost two years on from the 2015 onsite residential meeting and after a government commissioned safety review.
”Despite all of the concerns and representations made, there has been no action whatsoever by the government on this issue,” he said.
A TMR spokesperson said there were ongoing investigations about safety at the intersection, including adding turning lanes and street lighting, as part of the Mount Lindesay Highway Safety Review.
“The proposed works will be considered for state-wide prioritisation and future funding consideration,” the spokesperson said.
“Interim solar lighting would be made redundant by the future improvements at this intersection.”
Division 11 Councillor Trevina Schwarz said it was offensive to hear TMR would not even consider interim lighting.
“People’s lives are at stake here and anything like this would assist safety,” she said.
Cr Schwarz said due to the road corridor being owned by the state government, any street lighting provided by council would be too far away to improve conditions.
