No stopping in laneway?

Gosford Council's traffic committee has recommended that No Stopping signs be placed on both sides of an unnamed laneway between Blackwall Rd and Edward St, Woy Woy.

The committee has recommended that council notify residents with rear access to the unnamed laneway of the proposal to install No Stopping signs on both sides of the laneway.

It has also recommended that, subject to the concurrence of the local residents, No Stopping signs be provided on both sides of the unnamed laneway for its entire length.

The committee reported that a local resident had asked for parking in the laneway to be prohibited.

The report stated that the resident advised that vehicles parked in the laneway continually blocked the rear access to his property."

"The length of the laneway is 260 metres and the only entry and exit is at the northern end.

"A solution to the problem would be to install No Stopping signs on both sides of the unnamed laneway, for its entire length.

"However, given the magnitude of casual laneway parking that would be removed, local residents should initially be notified of the proposal."
