Police to watch speed

Police will keep a close watch on Blackwall Rd, Blackwall, following a survey of car speeds conducted by Gosford Council.

Council officers carried out a traffic speed survey on Blackwall Rd between Plane St and Orange Grove Rd from December 3 to December 10 last year, after receiving a letter from a local resident.

The survey results found that eastbound, 39 per cent of traffic were doing more than 60km/h while westbound 18 per cent of traffic were exceeding 60km/h.

The survey results have now been referred to NSW Police for enforcement of the 50km/h speed limit in the area.
