Camp Cable Road resident Debbie Gilbert calls for hard shoulder on Camp Cable Road, as Logan MP Linus Power promises to push for more work

They are calling for a wide shoulder and levelling out sections of the road to improve visibility, with one resident saying she is terrified turning into and out of her driveway each day.

The road is getting busier as nearby Yarrabilba booms, and peak hour is getting longer as a result.

With roadwork slowing traffic on the Mount Lindesay Highway, residents say motorists are turning to Camp Cable then Edelsten Road as they look to speed up the trip from Park Ridge to Mundoolun.

Locals have had enough, and say a series of accidents highlight the need for something to be done.

A man and a teenager were treated after a smash at the corner of Edelsten Road last month.

Another accident happened earlier this month.

A 73-year-old man died at the corner of Camp Cable Road and the Mount Lindesay Highway in 2015. That accident led to lights being installed at the intersection.

Resident Debbie Gilbert called on the government to improve the road further.

Mrs Gilbert said she had a string of near misses while entering and leaving her property.

Cars zooming by on the left had almost ended up in a culvert while Mrs Gilbert was waiting to turn right.

A visitor was involved in a smash when someone overtook as she turned right into Mrs Gilbert's property, smashing into the side of her car.

Mrs Gilbert said a hard shoulder was needed to give motorists time to get in and out of their properties while adjusting their speed to the traffic flow.

"We get three times the amount of traffic since it was upgraded," she said.

"It was windy, quite ugly, and now it's almost straight.

"People don't allow themselves enough time to stop.

"There was another accident there last week."

Logan MP Linus Power said he would lobby for upgrades.

"I will continue to push for more upgrades for Camp Cable Road, which is a vital east-west link in southern Logan," he said.
