Stop sign installed

Gosford Council will install a stop sign and line markings at the exit of an unnamed laneway in Umina at the request of concerned local residents.

The stop sign and line markings will be placed at the eastern exit of an unnamed laneway onto Burrawang St running parallel between Nelson St and Cambridge St, Umina, according to a council report.

The report stated that a resident of Cambridge St had written to council regarding the pedestrian safety at the unnamed laneway.

"An inspection has confirmed that there is a lack of adequate sight distance for both motorists and pedestrians in the area," the report stated.

"In consideration of these circumstances, it is recommended that a stop sign with relevant line marking be installed at the eastern end exit point of the unnamed laneway running parallel between Nelson and Cambridge Sts.

"The cost of the installation of required signage and line marking can be accommodated in existing recurrent budgets."
