New 40km/h zone in Rhodes Peninsula from 9 April 2018
Good morning
The NSW Government and the City of Canada Bay Council are introducing a 40km/h speed limit on roads bordering the residential precinct of Rhodes Peninsula to increase pedestrian safety. The 40km/h zone will include Walker Street, Mary Street, Rider Boulevarde, Sevier Avenue, Jean Wailes Avenue, Rhodes Peninsula.
We have included a map to show the location of the 40 km/h zone.
How will the work affect you?
There will be some noise associated with the installation of signage and road markings. We will make every effort to minimise noise and will follow noise and environmental guidelines.
Traffic changes
There will be some temporary traffic changes to ensure the work zone is safe.
At times traffic may be diverted and lane configurations changed during the installation phase. Roads and Maritime Services aim to ensure physical access to businesses and resident homes near the camera is maintained throughout installation.
Please keep to speed limits and follow the direction of traffic controllers and signs. For the latest traffic updates, you can call 132 701, visit livetraffic.com or download the Live Traffic NSW App.
Our work schedule
We will be on site for 2 shifts between Monday 9 April and Friday 13 April 2018, weather permitting. Our working hours will be from 7am to 3pm, Monday to Friday.
Why lower the speed limit?
Roads and Maritime partners with NSW councils to increase pedestrian safety by lowering speed limits to 40km/h in areas with high pedestrian activity levels. Travelling at 40km/h improves a driver’s ability to stop and avoid pedestrians, while crashes involving pedestrians at this speed are less severe, especially children and the elderly.
For example, if a driver in a vehicle travelling at 40km/h car sees a pedestrian about 27 metres ahead and brakes, he or she will stop safely after 26 metres. A vehicle travelling at 50km/h will take an extra nine metres to stop and will still be travelling at 41km/h when it hits the pedestrian. A vehicle travelling at 50km/h that hits a pedestrian is twice as likely to kill them as a vehicle travelling at 40km/h.
Is the 40km/h speed limit enforceable?
The 40km/h speed limit on sign-posted roads is legally enforceable. Normal police enforcement procedures apply.
How can you help?
Please look out for the new 40km/h signs in the Rhodes Peninsula from Monday 9 April and drive at the lower speed to increase pedestrian safety.

對啊，Rhodes區行人跟小孩狗什麼太多了，橫穿馬路的人也不在少數。相對給車限速，倒不如花點錢在marquet st 和 shoreline dr上多修幾條斑馬線。 shoreline dr 那麼長。一條斑馬線都沒有，一條路隨時有人穿來穿去。

其实walker street的一头不是老早就有一个限速40的标志么，而且这几条街地上写的大大的40有好几周了吧。

我更看好Rhodes。就那一大片水景，burwood怎么也比不了 。未来把火车站另一边再开发的话，以后肯定把burwood甩到后面去。
