New Daylesford speed zone

As we indicated some time ago, a new speed zone of 40 km/hr will be introduced in the central business district of Daylesford to enhance safety for road users and pedestrians.

Council has listened to the numerous calls for reduced speeds in Daylesford and has been collaborating with the Department of Transport and Planning to establish a safer speed zone. The new speed zone in Daylesford covers the central business district and areas with high pedestrian activity, including both local and state-controlled roads.

Our works crew will begin the sign installation this week and expect to complete the project before Easter. The existing speed limit signs will be removed first, followed by the placement of the new 40 km/hr signs. We will continue to look at speed limits across the Shire.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this period.
