Port Stephens Residents Win Campaign For Reduced Speed Limit

BY IAN CROUCH

Port Stephens residents have had a big win in their campaign to have the speed limit on a notorious stretch of road reduced.

Already this year, one man has been killed and 5 people injured in two serious crashes in the 90km/h zone where Tomago Road and Cabbage Tree Road meet at Tomago.

RMS data compiled last year showed both roads were significantly more dangerous than similar roads with 90km/h zones in regional NSW.

A community campaign led by Port Stephens MP, Kate Washington has been successful in having the speed limit reduced to 80km/h.
