Road marking for memorial

Motorists' mistaking the Empire Bay war memorial for a roundabout has resulted in edge line markings in Sorrento Rd.

A request was made to Gosford Council that it provide line marking for motorists manoeuvring between the public wharf and the war memorial on Sorento Rd at Empire Bay.

A report stated that many drivers became confused by the War Memorial's resemblance to a roundabout, resulting in a number of near misses.

Gosford Council's traffic committee recommended that centreline and edge line markings be provided in Sorrento Rd.

It also suggested Give Way signs and lines on the southern side of the War Memorial be provided.
