Concern about back street use

Woy Woy residents have expressed concern over speeding motorists in Terry Ave and Edward St.

The residents claim motorists use the streets as back roads to avoid the traffic lights, and have requested a "No Left Turn" sign in Blackwall Rd at Terry Ave.

Residents stated that the volume of traffic in their streets had increased since the installation of traffic lights at the intersection of Blackwall Rd and Allfield Rd, Woy Woy.

Gosford Council received 56 signatures from residents stating that there were concerned at the speed in which the cars are travelling, particularly considering the number of young children playing, riding bikes and skateboards out the front of their homes.

The petitioners stated that their concern over safety, noise and the general well being of their street were further disturbed by the pool development.

They predicted that this would further increase traffic and on street parking.

The residents also asked for appropriate road blockages to help decrease traffic flowing from Blackwall Rd.
