As part of the Speed Monitoring Program in the Shoalhaven, variable message signs are now active in Millbank Road, Terara. Complaints by residents, speed counts and police advice all indicated that speed is a problem at this location.
The program uses radar electronic message signs to measure the speed of approaching vehicles. Motorists approaching too fast receive a warning message. The message sign also collects traffic data which will monitor reduction in speed and help to develop a longer-term solution if drivers continue to speed.
“Sadly, in the NSW Southern region, the statistics show that pedestrians account for 7% of all fatalities”, Clr Findley said.
“Council’s program will target nine locations this year and results of the program will help develop local solutions to make roads safer for vulnerable road users”.
“It’s vital that everyone, residents and visitors to the Shoalhaven, play a part in keeping our roads safe”, Clr Findley said.
