No Stopping in Woy Woy Bay Rd

Gosford Council will create No Stopping zones in Woy Woy Bay Rd, after the road was blocked recently by parked cars.

The Bays Community Group requested that a No Stopping zone be provided on either side of Woy Woy Bay Rd between house number 35 and number 47 to allow through traffic.

Woy Woy Bay Rd runs east-west and is relatively long and narrow, the council was told.

The existing No Standing restriction in Woy Woy Bay on the southern side of Woy Woy Bay Rd between Meena Rd and house number 40 will be changed to a No Stopping zone, following a decision at Gosford Council's meeting of Tuesday, July 3.

The road width varies between four metres and 5.8 metres and widening cannot be achieved due to topography.

Bus services use the road between 6am and 6.30pm Monday to Friday, with a school bus service on school days and 9.00am to 5.30pm on Saturday.

The narrow carriageway and topography virtually eliminates any opportunity for on-street parking between Phegans Bay Rd and Meena Rd, according to Council's Local Traffic Committee report.

In the case where inappropriate parking blocks the road to through traffic, the Community Group was advised to seek NSW Police assistance.

There is an existing No Standing restriction on the southern side of Woy Woy Bay Rd between Meena Rd and number 40 Woy Woy Bay Rd.

Council inspection showed that some of this signposting was in poor condition and that a No Stopping restriction would be more appropriate at this location.
