Speed Limit Changes Ku-ring-gai Chase Road, Mount Colah

Transport for NSW is improving safety along Ku-ring-gai Chase Road, Mount Colah.

Following a request from the local community and bike user groups, Transport for NSW carried out a safety review of Ku-ring-gai Chase Road, Mount Colah.

As a result of our findings, we will be reducing the speed limit. This will improve safety for bike users, create a consistent speed limit along the entire length of the road and bring it in line with the NSW Speed Zoning Standards.

What work are we doing?

Reducing speed limits in both directions along Ku-ring-gai Chase Road, Mount Colah from 80km/h to 60km/h.

Work includes:

  • establishing a temporary work site
  • removing and/or replacing signs and posts and adding one new sign
  • locating existing underground services
  • potholing work to support new signs.

When and where we will be working

Work will be carried out over two night shifts on Monday 1 July and Tuesday 2 July 2024, from 5pm to 5am, weather and site conditions permitting.

We will let you know if our construction schedule changes significantly.

What will this mean for you?

The speed limit change is in the National Parks area. Residential properties will not be impacted by this work.

You may notice:

  • workers and vehicles
  • vehicle and cyclist detours
  • traffic controllers and signage
  • noise from machinery and equipment if we are required to drill into rock for some posts.

Managing our impacts

For the safety of our workers and the public, there will be temporary lane closures and a work zone speed of 40km/h.

Please follow the direction of traffic controllers and signs and keep to speed limits. For the latest traffic updates, you can call 132 701, visit livetraffic.com or download the Live Traffic NSW App.
