It's even the number one suggested place to visit in Bunbury on the well-known travel app Trip Advisor. The new road, marked in orange, will see two sets of traffic lights on Forrest Hwy a few hundred metres apart. "We all know accessing the Bunbury Farmers Market on a weekend, on public holidays — pretty much every day, can be very difficult."But Bunbury Farmers Market owner Kevin Opferkuch said the new intersection wouldn't help his business.

"For us if we could have that slip lane off Forrest Highway it would alleviate all our issues," Mr Opferkuch said.He said traffic would significantly reduce once the Bunbury Outer Ring Road was completed and the state government should wait before committing to the new intersection. The new road shown on a map in the suburb of Glen Iris, which is boxed in by a river, a major highway and two freight rail lines.
