Lachlan Sullivan and Tim Gibb spoke out about their concerns following a crash between a sedan and four-wheel drive at the intersection on Monday.

The four-wheel drive landed on its roof, but neither driver was badly hurt.

Since the Bradwardine Road extension from the Mitchell Highway to Suttor Street opened in December 2011, many motorists have been seen speeding through the roundabout at Suttor Street, according to Mr Sullivan.

Despite years of campaigning for the extension to be created, Mr Sullivan – who is a businessman and Western Advocate columnist – said changes need to be made or “some poor old soul will get killed”.

“The line of sight is too long and they [motorists] speed into it, and it’s been a problem since it opened,” he said.

“There’s no trees or shrubs and people just go screaming through it [the roundabout]. The traffic screams through doing at least 70 kilometres an hour. It’s created the fastest roundabout in Bathurst.”

Mr Sullivan said Monday’s accident was the second “in about two months”.

He said motorists speed through Bradwardine Road rather than Suttor Street.

Windradyne resident Tim Gibb says stop signs or traffic lights should be installed and the roundabout removed.

“I’ve seen a bad motorcycle accident about a month ago and someone was taken to hospital ... it was horrifying,” he said.

“People are not slowing down and they think it’s clear and then a car comes into their blind spot. 

“The roundabout is going to be carnage.”

Mr Sullivan said the roundabout should remain and “works perfectly, the issue is speed”. 

“Why don’t we plant trees to reduce the line of sight?” he asked.

Bathurst Regional Council director of engineering Doug Patterson said the roundabout will be reviewed because council has received a number of reports.

“It has been highlighted it’s an issue,” he said of the accidents at the site and instances of speeding motorists.

Chifley Local Area Command duty officer Inspector Mark Wall said motorists should be cautious when driving and not “assume people will give way or slow down” on roundabouts.

“Vehicles already on the roundabout have a right of way,” he said.

“Highway patrol target hot spots. If members of the community tell us, then we’ll tell highway patrol to monitor it.”
