Two cars and a truck have reportedly been involved in a pile-up this morning on Newcastle Road.
Following recent changes to the speed limit along the road, Wallsend MP Sonia Honnery believes the RMS need to look at other changes in managing traffic for the long term.
"The major problem [with the road] is the congestion is so extreme that we're going to have continued accidents unless the RMS really look at future plans for additional roads," she said.
It is believed as western suburbs grow, traffic is expected to remain an issue for Newcastle residents.
"The 60km zone is not going to reduce the congestion and is probably not going to reduce the amount of accidents," She said.
Wallsend MP maintains that unless the RMS build new roads, and improve public transport, there will be more accidents in the school holidays.
