Time to resurrect the UHFs...

Actually, a friend from another forum went up and said its only for a couple of sections that are around 500m so....hopefully thats all it is!

its so the driver of the family car can gawk at the scenery as well as drive, its alot safer to not look at the road at 40 than it is at 60

[GTR-N1]

Never before, have I heard of a section of HIGHWAY dedicated to 40Km/Hr. It's time to RE-NAME that section something else?

Word is that it's not the entire stretch. It's just in a "short" span where they're doing work on the cliffs, because of falling rocks.

So instead of hitting loose debris and possibly sliding off the road, you're now increasing your time in a location where hard shit falls out of the sky. Ask residents in the Wollongong / Shell Harbour area how safe that is.

Honestly, most "street racers" going up there flat stick will have an instant loss of license even with the 60-80km/hr limits. Dropping it to 40 doesn't change a thing for them. Assuming the above isn't true, it's just another case of a law hurting law abiding citizens with no effects on the people who ignore the rules.

I agree with all those points 100%.

excuse my ignorance but what is a UHF Terry?

[GTR-N1]

UHF CB Radios are legal to communicate from car to car.

Our couple of our multiple car cruises have used a 'lead car' to take one CB Radio a few short Kms ahead of the pack with #2 radio etc.

I thought the main reason we vote every bloody year is to keep dickheads from making the important decisions.

Problem is that both major sides are one in the same, they just come in different wrappers for idiots to argue over.

arrrhh... expected to see more and more hairdryer man doing business there...

I'm not from NSW but that is a bloody disgrace. How the residents on that road haven't kicked up a stink already is totally beyond me.

there pretty much aren't any residents (the only house really near the road i can think of is the cafe where all the sunday bikers stop), but i'm sure plenty of regular users of the road would have complained about people doing 2, 3 or nearly 4 times the posted limit through there

Near the Petes ridge inter section? theres a few houses. If you stop there at night, a resident comes out and pretends to take yr details and photos. Happened a few times! I lolled

I went up on Tuesday:

However, there's about 3 spots where they've got these:

but, within a couple of hundred metres its back to 60 again.
