Tip road may take B-Doubles

Gosford Council has deferred making a decision on an application for a B-Double route on Nagari Rd and Railway St, Woy Woy.

Council has also resolved to review the Railway St and Rawson Rd intersection adjacent to the railway level crossing to ensure that B-Double vehicles can "safely negotiate the intersection".

It has also resolved to provide centerline markings and "appropriate signposting on Nagari Rd".

A request for the route cam from Troy Heavy Haulage Pty Ltd, for the purpose of carrying green waste from Woy Woy Landfill via Nagari Rd and Railway St.

Council's traffic committee said concern was raised at its meeting about the safe movement of B-Double vehicles through the intersection of Railway St and Rawson Rd, Woy Woy.

It stated that: "In addition, it is considered that centreline markings would need to be provided along Nagari Rd and that appropriate signposting is required at the entry to Nagari Rd, warning motorists proceeding to the landfill site that B-Doubles may be encountered".
