A motorist exits York St through the entry lane.
Cars and motorbikes were driving the wrong way through the one-way section that continued to allow turns from Cambridge Ave into York St, or were using the footpath or crossing the grass.
At the same time, vehicles turning into York St were frequently travelling faster than the 50kph speed limit.
Retter said those drivers who did abide by the rules and turned around in the teardrop area were frustrated and using the previously-quiet and mainly-residential alternative of Short St to get back to Cambridge Ave.
Agency transport systems manager Ross I’Anson visited Retter this week, and has pledged a raft of improvements to reduce misdemeanours.
