Collingullie farmers Dane Somerville and Russ Meyers want to draw the attention of Wagga City Council to key roads located in villages surrounding the city.

One road in particular the pair are worried about is the road leading from Collingullie to The Rock.

Both men drive trucks on the road which they said is wearing thin, with some of those roads edges a "six-inch" drop.

"It's a problem because it's quite a busy road as it's the main road linking Collingullie to The Rock and it doesn't fit two trucks, one has to pull off to the side," Mr Somerville said.

Another problem raised was the damage that can be done to tyres from having to pull off to the side, which isn't only a problem for truck drivers.

"I've seen cars go off the edge, it's thin," Mr Somerville said.

Mr Somerville said another concern for him is that the condition of the road could lead to further car accidents, which he said has already happened on multiple occasions.

Mr Myers said another area of concern is the intersection between Uranquity and Collingullie.

Wagga Mechanic Andrew Walsh from Andrew Walsh Mechanical said poor road conditions are contributing to the number of car repairs required for Wagga residents.

"We get cars coming in [needing repairs due to poor road conditions] reasonably often," he said.

"Potholes do a fair bit of damage.

"The big, deep potholes are really bad for the low profile tyres that are on a lot of modern cars.

"They bend rims and damage tyres."

But that is not the extent of damage that can be caused by poor road conditions, with some repairs being more technical than a change of tyres.

Mr Walsh said cars are also coming in requiring basic suspension repairs and things of that nature.

"We're seeing a fair few with bent steering components," he said.

And to have something of that nature fixed, motorists could potentially face bills within the thousands.

"They can be bills of around, you know, a couple of thousands of dollars," Mr Walsh said.

So, how do motorists prevent damage caused by potholes or poor road conditions?

"Slow down and try and avoid them- that's all you can really do," Mr Walsh said.

Mr Walsh also said wet weather amplifies the number of people coming in requiring repairs, which would suggest that motorists should be vigilant of poorer road conditions following downpour.

And while Mr Walsh said it is natural for roads to wear, he would like to see them repaired in a more timely fashion.
