From the editor’s desK
I have long used the term “a 48.5%
pass” in referring to a person with a
university degree who has naturally
gone on to show incompetency in the
workplace.
Meaning that the marker of the final
exam papers said to himself/herself –
“48.5% - close enough - we’ll give him/
her a pass and a degree”.
Methinks the folk who came up with
the idea of placing a KFC outlet on
the corner of the very busy March and
Bosworth streets in Richmond and the
giant service station at the Richmond
Road - Macquarie Street intersection at
South Windsor were 4.85 per centers.
And are 48.5 per centers involved in
the so slow, oh-so very, very slow works
currently underway at the intersection
of Kurra jong Road (Bells Line of Road),
Old Kurra jong Road and Yarramundi
Lane?
Anyone who uses the “car park”
which operates between Richmond and
the North Richmond traffic lights during
the long morning and afternoon peak
hours knows that something had to be
done about the many congestion years
ago.
But what will this current work at
the intersection achieve?
According to Maritime and Roads
Services website, the following works
are taking place at the intersection of
Kurra jong Road, Old Kurra jong Road
and Yarramundi Lane.
This involves widening the
intersection to allow for a dedicated
right turn lane from Kurra jong Road
into Old Kurra jong Road for motorists
travelling south; and providing a
dedicated left turn lane from Old
Kurra jong Road into Kurra jong Road
including an acceleration lane.
I am puzzled? Hardly any regular
traffic right turns into OKR from
Kurra jong Road and the same applies
to traffic turning left out of OKR onto
Kurra jong Road.
Surely they mean they will be
making a dedicated right turn out from
Kurra jong Road into Yarramundi Lane?
48.5 per centers. They’ll be the
death of me!
