Andrews welcomes new traffic lights

Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews has welcomed the new traffic lights which were recently switched on at Railway St and George St, Woy Woy.

Ms Andrews said the new traffic signals at the intersection would improve safety in the area.

"The Iemma Labor Government has provided $600,000 for the new signals, to improve access to the bus and rail interchange," Ms Andrews said.

"Safety improvements have also been made to the intersection of Railway St and George St, Woy Woy, with the installation of these traffic control signals.

"The installation of the traffic signals will give buses and taxis direct access to the Woy Woy Rail Station transport interchange from the Deepwater Plaza area.

"This will eliminate the need for buses from George St to carry out a U turn at the Charlton St roundabout, 150 metres away.

"The signals will improve safety for all vehicles as well as for pedestrians crossing Railway St to access trains, buses and taxis.

"The project will also improve the efficiency of public transport using the interchange and improve the connection to the shopping precinct."
