Warning signs for Mt Ettalong Rd

Gosford Council will place a pedestrian warning sign and a 35 km/h curve advisory sign on the southern approach to the bend at the southern end of Mt Ettalong Rd.

This follows a request by a concerned resident of Umina Beach to reduce the speed limit at the southern end of Mount Ettalong Rd and investigate other options to improve pedestrian safety on the bend leading to the beach.

The concerned resident wrote to the Roads and Traffic Authority.

The RTA advised the resident that a reduction of the speed limit over a short length of Mt Ettalong Rd was not an appropriate method of addressing pedestrian safety.

The RTA said a pedestrian warning sign and an advisory speed sign approaching the bend at the southern end of Mt Ettalong Rd would be a more appropriate treatment.
