Before the survey period closed on June 28, more than 390 residents indicated that their chief concern was with improving road safety.
Up to 80 per cent of respondents were concerned generally with the flow of traffic along the two roads.
Meanwhile, 52 per cent wrote of concerns for the safety of Old Narrandera Road, and 26 per cent highlighted the need to improve the Travers Street intersection.
Wagga Ratepayers Association president Lynne Bodell drives the road regularly, and believes there are a few standout solutions.
"Having a roundabout there [on Old Narrandera Road] instead of the intersection will just move the delay and make it like Travers Street," Dr Bodell said.
"People get impatient waiting and make irrational decisions that result in more crashes."
Instead, Dr Bodell brought forward the often-touted safety measure.
"One comment that is made, again and again, it is the duplication of Gobba bridge," she said.
"It will always be a bottleneck there until that happens."
To improve congestion problems for those turning at the roundabout onto Travers Street, Dr Bodell recommended constructing a left-only turning lane.
"A duel lane there from the bridge onto Travers Street would make a big difference for people travelling in [to the CBD]," she said.
"You just end up stuck there on the bridge waiting otherwise."

A cursory glance at the survey comments on the RMS website indicates overwhelming support for the installation of lights along Old Narrandera Road.
Especially at the Pine Gully Road T-intersection, users wrote of the potential risks to drivers in darkness.
"I use it every day because I live out on Old Narrandera road," Dr Bodell said.
"Maybe you could benefit from some lights and a roundabout there because people ignore stop signs.
"From what I've seen one-out-of-three [drivers] don't stop there, from either direction."
The RMS survey found that just 12 per cent of those surveyed showed concern for the safety of cyclists and pedestrians.
Though that figure may be adjusted as construction begins on the city's 51km commuter active travel cycleway.
In time, the University Link route is expected to follow a path from the city CBD to Boorooma and Estella.
But without firm plans for the duplication of the Gobbagomballin Bridge, the route has been put on temporary hold.
