Pedestrian barriers installed after 78-year-old hit by car

Pedestrian barriers have been installed outside an Ettalong construction site after a 78-year old woman was struck by a car near the corner of Booker Bay Rd and Murray St on Sunday, July 9.

A resident had taken pictures of the site just days before (below), because the construction company had closed the footpath, forcing pedestrians onto the road.

Residents are blaming this for the accident.

They are calling for better protection of pedestrians in Ettalong, saying the woman was forced onto the road because the footpath was blocked by construction work.

They said it was a common problem, as "there is so much development occurring around here".

"I've been forced onto roadways at least twice, at Booker Bay Rd and at Eastern Rd," said one Ettalong resident.

"Another footpath in Webb Rd was so churned up, it was dangerous to walk on it."

Another resident said: "I saw the owner pulling the fencing out to the edge of the footpath the week before and another lady saw it while walking her dog.

"Another neighbour reported the fencing to the Work and Safety people the day of the accident.

"They came that afternoon.

"They were there first thing the next morning to have everything put in place correctly.

"They took lots of photos, as did the police."
