The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has given approval for another set of traffic lights in Cannonvale, 500 metres from where the last set was installed on Shute Harbour Road near Whitsunday Plaza. Councillor Clay Bauman took to Facebook this week, reigniting the traffic light vs roundabout debate.  

“We all know traffic volumes have increased as our region continues to grow. The question now is whether the solutions being delivered are the right ones for long term safety, flow and liveability.”

A Council spokesperson stated that ultimately this is a TMR decision although the topic will come before Council for debate and a vote in the coming weeks.
