Burge Rd concern

Gosford Council has received a petition with 52 signatures from residents of Burge Rd, Woy Woy.

The petitioners stated that they had observed an increased traffic volume in their street as a result of drivers avoiding the speed camera on Blackwall Rd.

The volume had further increased since the installation of the traffic lights at the intersection of Allfield and Blackwall Rds.

The petitioners stated the speed limit of 50km/h was being broken by a majority of drivers and residents feared for the safety of their children and elderly pedestrians.

The petitioners requested that council survey the traffic volumes and vehicle speeds and install traffic slowing devices similar to those devices used in North Burge and Brickwharf Rd.
