She wants Sutherland Shire Council to improve visibility in the area.
Mayor Kent Johns said on Facebook that he was ‘‘getting a report and then will have it reviewed by the traffic committee’’.
Ms Barnes said it was only a matter of time before a motorist or pedestrian was killed at the intersection.
‘‘It’s a very busy spot, especially when you are trying to turn right into Parraweena Road,’’ she said.
‘‘You have semi-trailers parked on your right and you cannot see a thing and have to edge forward into traffic.’’
Comment is being sought from Sutherland Shire Council and police.
Boral has confirmed that a truck driven by one of the company's sub-contractors was involved in an accident at Caringbah, in Sydney, on Friday, April 24, at about 12.35 pm.
''Boral takes the safety of its staff and the community seriously and has launched an internal investigation into the accident,'' a spokesperson said.
''We are also co-operating fully with police and other authorities in their investigation of the accident.
We are relieved there were no injuries.''
