Hepburn Shire Council has implemented a new speed zone of 40 km/hr for an area surrounding the central business district of Daylesford to enhance safety for road users and pedestrians.
Council 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.
The restictions apply to sections of Raglan St, Albert St, Central Springs Rd, Stanbridge St, Bridport St, Duke St and Camp St.
Work 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.
New 40 km/hr zone applies to the area indicated.
