9913 - TRAFFIC CONGESTION AT JOHN HUNTER HOSPITAL

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight

What are you as the Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight doing to help alleviate traffic congestion in the short term since the removal of the John Hunter Hospital park and ride shuttle bus and the closure of the Wallsend After Hours Medical Service which has meant that workers and visitors have been subjected to delays exceeding 60 minutes when trying to exit the Hospital road network during peak periods?

Answer -

I am advised:

Roads and Maritime Services will review the operation of the traffic lights at the main entrance to the John Hunter Hospital, as well as at Jacaranda Drive, and make any adjustments to the phasing, if appropriate, to help relieve congestion.
