MOTORISTS can expect a smoother journey during peak periods after RMS announced new and extended weekday clearways on Henry Lawson Dr, Forest Rd and Stoney Creek Rd, between Padstow Heights and Penshurst.
Clearways will operate in both directions from 6am to 10am and 3pm to 7pm, on weekdays, starting from Monday, November 5.
And vehicles parked in the clearways face fines of $263, and risk being towed— at the cost of the owner.
According to a Roads and Maritime Services spokesman, work to install clearway signs will end on Sunday, November 4, weather permitting.
“The new and extended weekday clearways will replace existing ‘no parking’, ‘no stopping’ and unrestricted parking during clearway hours on Henry Lawson Drive, Forest Road and Stoney Creek Road,” the spokesman said.
“Motorists are reminded that any vehicles parked in the clearway on or after the 5th of November risk being fined and towed.
“Clearways help improve journey times by making all lanes available to traffic during clearway times, which reduces congestion and helps motorists get to their destination sooner.
“A single parked car can cause major delays on busy road corridors during peak times, so it is important to ensure all lanes are available to improve journey reliability.”
He said following consultation with Georges River Council, there will be three additional half-hour parking spaces and two one-hour parking spaces on Penshurst St to offset the two short stay business spaces lost on Stoney Creek Rd during clearway hours.
