40k limit for Ettalong shops

Gosford Council has endorsed a 40km/h speed zone for Ettalong Beach as the basis for future designs.

Council officers will also prepare draft threshold treatments on the basis of Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) guidelines.

The proposed 40km/h speed zone would be for an area along Ocean View Rd and Picnic Parade.

Council had asked for funding from the RTA for the installation of a 40km/h High Pedestrian Activity area in the Ettalong Beach CBD.

The RTA has now asked council to submit a draft plan showing the extent of the proposed

40km/h area.

A draft plan showing the proposed extent of the 40km/h area was tabled at a traffic committee meeting.

The RTA advised it would fund the street treatment associated with the implementation.
