Speed humps soon for McCarr’s Creek Road

Northern Beaches Council together with Transport NSW will begin this month to install speed humps along a section of McCarrs Creek Road in Church Point to reduce speeding and dangerous driving.

Mayor Michael Regan said McCarr’s Creek Road between Church Point and the Ku-Ring- Gai National Park boundary has long been a haven for antisocial ‘hoon’ behaviour and residents have had enough.

“The local community, quite rightly, have said no to those using this stretch of the road as their personal speedway. I worked with local State MP Rob Stokes, NSW Police and members of the Bayview Church Point Resident Association to make the installation of these speed humps happen.”

Council unanimously endorsed a proposal at its meeting in February to have Council staff, through the Northern Beaches Local Traffic Committee, address the issue of dangerous driving with traffic calming measures such as speed humps as a possible option.

The Northern Beaches Local Traffic Committee recently approved a report Council tabled recommending speed humps to reduce dangerous driving.
