Traffic device not so calming

We use Sunnydale Ave if we are going to Gawler as this negates having to traverse the traffic at southern end of Murray St.

Recently, the powers that be installed a so called ‘traffic calming device’ to the outlet of Sunnydale where it meets the Barossa Valley Way.

It is difficult to see traffic heading in to Gawler, but now having to negotiate a left hand turn to avoid the road bricks is very dangerous.

You go up in the air and go directly down on the camber, lurching your vehicle into oncoming traffic heading north.

If not rectified soon I can only see a head on with a very bad outcome as out bound vehicles are at 80km/h.
