Bad Design or Bad Driving Skills?
Three crashes within 24 hours on a newly-redesigned Christchurch road has residents concerned the “drifters corner” will become a death trap.
One resident is calling for the corner on Worsleys Rd in Cracroft to be completely re-engineered before someone is killed.
A transport engineer has also criticised the new bend, saying it is designed like a racetrack. But the subdivision developer behind the design stands by the new layout, saying it is safer than the tight corner it replaced.
