Intersection upgrade planned

The intersection of Booker Bay Rd and Bogan Rd, Booker Bay, will soon have signs and road markings renewed and curve warning signs and chevrons provided.

The intersection has also been listed for upgrading in a future capital works program, following a Gosford council resolution.

The upgrade would include resealing and reconstruction of the median island.

The request for the upgrade came from the NSW Police Force on behalf of a local resident.

The NSW Police Force was approached by a local resident with a signed petition of 25 residents around the Booker Bay Rd and Bogan Rd area in Booker Bay.

The stretch of road in question was inspected by police who advised that the median on Booker Bay Rd would benefit from being raised and made more visible by paint and raised pavement markers.

The police said the raised pavement markers would also be useful if installed along the centre-lines in Booker Bay Rd.

A report from Council's traffic committee stated that there was some potential for chevrons on the south-western and south-eastern kerbs of Booker Bay Rd on either side of the Bogan Rd intersection and edge lines between Karu Ave and Guyra Sts would be beneficial in highlighting curves.

It also stated that, in order to deter drivers from cutting the corner when entering Davis St, a five-metre long concrete median at the intersection of Booker Bay Rd and Davis St would be recommended.
