No stopping at intersection

No Stopping signs will be installed at the corner of Augusta and West Sts, Umina.

Gosford Council has resolved to install signage and line marking at the intersection on the recommendation of Council's Local Traffic Committee.

Council resolved to implement a No Stopping restriction on both sides of Augusta St, Umina, which would extend 10 metres south from West St.

A No Stopping restriction will also be implemented on the southern side of West St which would extend 10 metres both east and west from Augusta St.

The resolution was made after Council received a request for a parking restriction at the intersection.

The council was told that vehicles parked too close to the intersection, reducing sight distance for vehicles exiting Augusta St.

Council rangers visited the location on several occasions and advised that during week days vehicles were parking within the statutory 10 metres from an intersection which restricted sight distance and caused obstruction.

The traffic committee advised council that the installation of parking restrictions would keep the intersection clear of parked vehicles and improve sight distance for motorists.
