Andrews welcomes crossing lights

Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews has welcomed the new pedestrian traffic lights on Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy.

"Pedestrian traffic lights were installed south of Park Rd at Woy Woy following a review of the site, including features such as the width of the existing roadway, traffic movements in the vicinity of the crossing and the nearby location of the school," Ms Andrews said.

"The work involved replacing the existing marked pedestrian crossing with traffic lights outside Woy Woy Primary School.

"It also included providing new 'Keep Clear' line marking at the intersection of Park Rd and Blackwall Rd to advise motorists not to queue across the intersection."

Ms Andrews said the Woy Woy pedestrian crossing upgrade would make the road safer for pedestrians and motorists alike and would control traffic, "providing a safer environment for all pedestrians, but particularly school aged children and the elderly".

Ms Andrews said the lights had been installed as part of the NSW Government's commitment to upgrade marked pedestrian crossings on multi-lane State roads throughout New South Wales.
