Group calls for road markers

Flexible road markers should be installed on the bay side of Araluen Dr, Hardy's Bay, to delineate the edge of the road between the marina and Blythe St, according to the Hardys Bay Residents Group.

The group has also recommended that vegetation be trimmed to improve visibility, said publicity officer Mr Allan Wilson.

He was commenting on Gosford Council plans for the area, prepared after a car slipped off the road shoulder and a girl was hit by a car in the vicinity in separate incidents last October.

The group has also called for the widening of the road between Killcare Rd and Heath Rd, for raised pedestrian crossings in Araluen Dr and Killcare Rd.

It asked that parking be retained in Araluen Dr from the bus zone to the marina.

The group also criticised the use of signage in the council plans.

"The plan calls for an additional 15 new signs which is unacceptable in such a small area," said Mr Wilson.

He said the group contacted Council following public concern that was expressed over traffic congestion and pedestrian safety following the incidents.

The incident with the car balanced precariously on the road shoulder was "yet another statistic in a chapter of recent traffic incidents which have occurred in our community, alarming residents and visitors to Hardy's Bay", he said.
