Kick Back Special Episode: Merimbula Traffic Debate EXPLODES! - Part 2 (Haydos's Big Road Fixes & Your Say!)

We're back for Part 2 of our special episode, continuing the conversation about Merimbula's traffic changes and what could be done to improve traffic flow around the Sapphire Coast.

Haydos has been busy putting his thinking cap on, coming up with some rather ambitious solutions to Merimbula's traffic congestion. From redesigning the Market Street intersection and introducing additional turning lanes to proposing new roundabouts at Fishpen Road, Pambula and Munje Street, there's certainly no shortage of ideas!

We also discuss alternative routes to Woolworths and Aldi, pedestrian crossings, parking concerns and some of the feedback from the community following our previous discussion.

With plenty of suggestions, a few controversial ideas and some passionate opinions, we wrap up by looking at what the future could hold for our local roads.

Do you agree with Haydos's plans? Or has he completely lost the plot? 😂

Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
