Motorists reminded about new speed limit precinct in Gladstone CBD

Gladstone Regional Council is reminding motorists to adhere to the 40km/h speed limit precinct within the Gladstone CBD that comes into effect on Monday 29 May.

The Gladstone CBD is referred to as the area bounded by:

Lord Street to the north (including Flinders Parade near East Shores Stage 1a)
Auckland Street to the east
Tank Street to the south
Glenlyon Street to the west.

All streets within these boundaries will be subject to a 40km/h speed limit, including Lord Street and Tank Street, with the 10km/h Shared Zone at Library Square to remain, while sections along Oaka Lane will remain at 20km/h.

The speed limits along Auckland Street and Glenlyon Street will remain at 50km/h and 60km/h respectively.

Council’s road crews have already begun the process of laying down red-coloured road surface treatments to alert motorists entering the 40km/h precinct.

Once new signage is installed on 29 May, weather permitting, the new speed limit will come into effect.

This speed limit change has been endorsed by the Speed Management Committee, which includes officers from Queensland Police, Department of Transport and Main Roads and Council.
