The 60km/h section from 40 metres west of Station Street to 50 metres east of Parkdale Avenue will be reduced to 50km/h from May 30.
“A speed zone review of Bong Bong Road was carried out earlier this year by Roads and Maritime Services after a request from Wollongong City Council,” said Parliamentary Secretary for the Illawarra Gareth Ward.
“The existing speed zone has been reduced due to the level of pedestrian activity and to complement Council’s plans for a pedestrian refuge, to help create a safer environment for all road users.”
Mr Ward said the change to the new speed limit will occur on Monday, May 30, and advised motorists to drive to the new conditions.
“New signs will be installed to inform motorists of the new speed limit,” Mr Ward said.
