Patonga speed limit reduction welcomed
The Patonga Beach Progress Association has welcomed a speed limit reduction 50km/h to 40km/h as important for protecting both residents and visitors.
Secretary Mr John Quigg said: "We have the hotel which attracts a lot of traffic, a children's playground at the entrance to the village, and there are no pedestrian crossings.
"It is important that the speed for cars is reduced."
The new 40 km speed zone will apply to Patonga, Bay and Brisk Sts, Jacaranda, Meroo and Nalya Ave, as well as the Hawkesbury Track.
Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch also welcomed the reduction in the speed zone, given the relatively high number of pedestrians and traffic in Patonga.
"After I made representations to Transport for NSW on behalf of the Patonga Beach Progress Association, I am happy that they have made the sensible decision to protect what is an active and busy area that is enjoyed by so many."
She said the village of Patonga had become a popular destination loved by residents and visitors alike.
