Signs to help with truck turning

Gosford Council has agreed to a recommendation put forward by its Local Traffic Committee to place a No Stopping restriction at the end of Timbertop Dr, Umina, along with a painted pavement hatching on the turning pads.

The decision was made following the identification of the need for a turning facility at the southern end of Timbertop Dr to assist with the turning of fire trucks, following Gosford Council's Bushfire Planning Review.

Council's Local Traffic Committee report of Monday, February 4, stated that the turning facility would also assist waste collection trucks in servicing the area.

The Committee's report also stated that the No Stopping restriction would prevent cars parking and obstructing the turning area.
