A speed zone reduction will be introduced on Crosby Drive and Curtis Road in Batehaven this month to improve safety for all road users and better support future growth in the area.
A Transport for NSW spokesperson said the limit would be reduced from 100 km/h to 60 km/h on these roads, providing consistency with other outer suburban and residential road networks in Eurobodalla.
“Transport for NSW carried out a speed zone review of the area following feedback from the local community and Eurobodalla Shire Council,” the spokesperson said.
“We found that 60 km/h is the appropriate speed for the roadside environment which includes curves, causeways and frequent driveways and intersections.”
New signs will be installed on the approach to the new speed zone on Monday 19 June, weather permitting. The new speed zone will come into effect once the signs are installed.
Electronic message boards will be on-site two weeks before and one week following the speed zone reduction.
Motorists are reminded to drive to the signposted speed limit at all times.
Members of the community can sign up to receive the latest updates on permanent speed limit changes in their nominated area and to have their say on speed limits. For more information visit www.saferroadsnsw.com.au
