Residents of Waterford are raising urgent concerns about increased truck traffic on local roads, particularly Pleasant Drive, Thorneby, and Van Sant. During a recent government meeting, Russell Maddock, a local resident, highlighted the issue of cement trucks using these roads as shortcuts, especially during school hours, which poses safety risks for students.
Maddock expressed frustration over the lack of planning that has led to this situation, noting that the roads are already in poor condition and unable to handle the additional traffic. He called for more \"no truck\" signs, particularly near Kettering Drive, where the influx of trucks is impacting student and bus access.
The resident's plea underscores a growing concern among community members about road safety and infrastructure deterioration. Maddock's comments reflect a broader sentiment that local authorities need to take immediate action to address these traffic issues and protect the community's roads and residents.
