Upgrade for school crossing

Gosford Council will officially convert the school crossing in Park Rd to a "children's crossing".

The council's road safety and traffic unit recommended that a children's' crossing be incorporated at the existing pedestrian crossing outside Woy Woy Public School.

A site inspection had indicated that the existing facility was classified as a pedestrian crossing.

Brackets had been fitted brackets to hold children's crossing flags, but other requirements for a children's crossing, such as stop lines, were missing.

On the recommendation of its traffic committee, the council will upgrade the crossing to the standard required for a children's crossing, including appropriate line marking and signposting.
