Council is seeking feedback from the community to understand whether a reduction in the speed limit on Pinnacle Road would be supported.
A Council meeting held on 2 April 2024 supported a motion proposed by Cr Steven Peterson to see whether the community would support lowering the speed limit on part or all of the length of Pinnacle Road, within the Orange LGA.
Councillor Steve Peterson says that a review of the speed limit on Pinnacle road could improve the safety of cyclists and other road users.
SPEED LIMIT: Orange City Council is asking residents if they support a proposal to reduce the speed limit on sections of Pinnacle Road.
“I’m interested to learn the opinion of the community on lowering the speed limit as well as other potential road safety improvements,” Cr Peterson said.
“I have heard many in the community tell me their concerns about the safety of that road especially for cyclists and especially in the winter”.
Community consultation will be open for one month, starting Wednesday 5 June 2024 on Council’s YourSay Orange site. Those who are unable to fill out the online survey are welcome to come the customer service desk at the Civic Centre to fill out a paper form.
Residents on the route will be notified of the consultation by letter and encouraged to have their say.
Speed limits are governed by Transport for NSW however the results of the survey will go back to Council for further discussion.
