Frontage Road Case Study

Country road has always been one of Australia leading premium stockists of apparel and home wares. Country Road began as a small manufacturer but expanded and diversified to become a leading wholesaler/retailer of apparel and home wares in the Australian market.

The strategy of international expansion into Asia had involved alternative strategies instead of the aggressive strategy into US. Such strategies included strategic partnerships and franchising agreements. Country Road was successful at first with its defined higher quality products and

On August 27, 2015 at approximately 2154 hrs, I observed a gray 2005 Acura TL bearing NJ Reg# J61FHA was driving 69 mph on 55 mph zone on Route 1 north, made a passing on the right lane and change lane again to the middle lane. When the traffic light turned red on intersection between North Oaks Blvd and Route 1 north, I pull my patrol vehicle 558 next to the vehicle as a the vehicle was slowing for the traffic light and I observed interior light on with a driver who had his hand upon his ear and moving his mouth which made me believed that the driver was talking on his cell phone while driving.

The mother exited the house and was asked if she drove the vehicle. She related the car is hers but no one has driven the car for a few days. I advised the marks are identical to the other vehicle that was parked and struck. The female Jacqueline SOLIMINI stated the car wasn't moved and the damage has been on her vehicle for some time. I informed her that I have her mirror for her car in my possession. That the mirror was knocked off her car and remained on the scene. SOLIMINI denied the vehicle being driven and stated if it's just going to be some tickets to send them to me.

The accident took place around 2:40 p.m. on Jefferson Avenue Southwest. The other driver was also taken into custody for questioning, but no arrests have been made at the time. Police believe that both drivers probably knew each other prior to the incident.

When I arrived on scene I spoke with three individuals who were involved in the collision. The operator of the White Ford F-250 was identified as Albert John PIKITUS and his passenger was identified as Nathan GULDEN. Both stated that PIKITUS was driving south on Swatara Road when they observed a vehicle travelling north on Swatara road. They said the vehicle began to travel in their direction and they thought she was going to strike them so PIKITUS stopped his truck in the road. They said they could see the eyes of the operator and she never looked at them and was only looking at the turn where she later turned right onto Florida Avenue. The operator turned into their vehicle making a wide right turn. As they sat stationary the female struck the driver's side of the truck.

Thank you again for your inquiry. The current westbound roadway configuration is exactly what was prior to construction - the left lane gives motorists the option to get on the SB I-75 ramp lanes or continue westbound. The problem you are referring to is not because of the current roadway configuration.

So a percent of the traffic goes eastbound and makes a U-Turn at the entrance to the NB I-75 ramp and heads west to capture the dual
