A resident has placed another slow down sign on the problem road.
The current Council Plan identifies this as a wildlife crossing area recommended for speed reduction.
The day the Council removed other slow down signs put up by concerned locals they placed road counters between Bingil Bay and Narragon. I wonder how long it will be before the data collected is analysed and the speed limit reduced.
