But Frank Illes has taken it upon himself to call on the Roads and Traffic Authority to fix the mangled road surface once and for all.

Workers did do another patch job about a year ago, but it only lasted a few days before being squashed up due to the soft earth below.

While the RTA still has lots of work ahead of it on the Princes Highway thanks to the recent flood stripping road surfaces, he says the rippled surface is dangerous and jolting to drive over.

A resident of the Parklands estate, Frank is no stranger to correspondence with the RTA as he has been lobbying for five years to have something done about the Payne Street intersection.

He is still calling on the RTA to improve safety at Payne Street and while the removal of the phonebox has improved the line of sight, shrubbery on a property on the corner is still obstructing vision.

"If you have a 9.15am appointment in town, you may as well as leave at 8.30am because that's how long it takes to turn onto the highway," he said.

But former roads ministers and the authority have explained while inconvenient the intersection does not have the volume or accident history to warrant such a major intersection.

The developer of Parklands, John Wallens now lives on the Princes Highway directly adjacent to the lumpy section of highway that is upsetting Mr Illes.

Mr Wallens said the RTA needs to rebuild that section of the highway that could possibly be laid over a spring, and regarding the Payne Street intersection, he said he was made to widen the street but the intersection would continue to be trouble especially when people exceeded the speed limit on the highway.

A RTA spokesperson said the authority was working with Eurobodalla Shire Council to determine the cause of the road damage before carrying out permanent repair work, which should be done within the next month.

And the RTA continues to monitor road safety and traffic efficiency in the area.
