A speed zone review is a comprehensive process that includes site inspections, analysis of the current road environment and road condition, consideration of crash data and traffic volumes.

The review was in response to a request from Port Stephens Council and the NSW Police.

Installation of the new speed zone signage will commence from Tuesday 10 September.

Work will be carried out on Italia Road between the Pacific Highway and East Seaham Road.

Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions and follow the directions of signs and traffic control.

“Electronic message signs will be installed on Italia Road four weeks before the changes come into effect to advise motorists of the new speed limit and will remain in place for a number of weeks after the speed zone change occurs,” Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington said.
