Have your say: High pedestrian activity sign around Moree hospital

Moree Plains Shire Council and Transport for NSW (TfNSW) are calling for community feedback for the installation of a High Pedestrian Activity Sign (HPAS) around Moree Hospital and Whiddon (Residential Aged Care) in Moree. The sign will be installed on Victoria Terrace from Edward Street to Alice Street and west of Alice Street from the roundabout to the end.

The new signs and pavement markings indicating the new 40km/h zone will be installed to make this precinct a more pedestrian friendly area, improving safety for people, seniors and cyclists.

The installation of HPAS signs is supported by the TfNSW to assist with managing speed and pedestrian safety which has been an ongoing concern raised by the residents of  Whiddon and research shows that a pedestrian hit by a car travelling at 40km/h has twice the chance of surviving the collision than if the car was travelling 50km/h. Travelling at speeds higher than 40 km/h greatly increases the risk of injury and death to pedestrians.

The community comments gathered for the installation of HPAS will help determine how to best move forward facelifting the streets and improving pedestrian safety.

Submission will be accepted until 5pm on Friday 1 December 2023

All submissions will be included in a publicly available report. Personal information will not be used. Please email submissions to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or post to the General Manager, PO BOX 420, Moree NSW 2400.
