John Stuchbery was left dismayed by the roads administrator's attitude towards his push to install flashing lights at the Creek Street pedestrian crossing in central Albury.

He told this week's council meeting that he raised the plan at a traffic committee gathering with a Transport for NSW representative.

"This person from Transport for NSW was frankly obstructive," Cr Stuchbery said.

"All we're asking for is a flashing light to potentially save a pedestrian from being run over by a car and she wants to make sure it meets some Australian standard that doesn't actually exist except in her mind."

Transport for NSW south west director Lindsay Tanner told The Border Mail a request for flashing lights in Creek Street had been made at the February 17 meeting.

"Transport for NSW has taken this request on board and is investigating how lights at this location would comply with Australian safety standards," Mr Tanner said.

Former mayor Henk van de Ven also raised concerns about Transport for NSW's announcement last month that a red light camera would be installed at the intersection of Young and Guinea streets.

The council's infrastructure boss Brad Ferris said there was "a local traffic committee meeting a couple of days before the announcement and it wasn't raised at that meeting".

However Mr Tanner said Transport for NSW told the council late last year there would be a camera installed at the site.

Cr Stuchbery said the department was dismissive of Albury's concerns.

"They're completely non responsive to local matters Transport for NSW," he said.

"Their nearest office is in Wagga, they think Albury is part of Victoria, they don't care."

But Mr Tanner said: "Transport for NSW enjoys a strong working relationship with Albury City Council and looks forward to continuing this in the future."
