No stopping

Gosford Council has resolved to install No Stopping signs in Taylor St, Woy Woy Bay, following the recommendation of its local traffic committee.

Busways requested the signs to assist bus turning movements.

A council report stated: "Buses going to the bus stop on Taylor St are coming down from Woy Woy Bay Rd.

"To return back into Woy Woy Bay Rd, the bus driver has to turn into Bassan St and then back out into Taylor Street to pull alongside the bus stop.

The size of the bus and the nature of the road intersection make this manoeuvre dangerous to other road users if a vehicle is parked on Taylor St directly opposite the intersection at Bassan St."
