Project information
Council is considering a proposal to replace the existing ‘Vehicles over 3T GVM’ load limit signs throughout Ku-ring-gai with ‘Vehicles over 4.5T GVM’ load limit signs. In recent years, average vehicle sizes and weights have increased. Many large SUV’s and utility vehicles would have a gross vehicle weight of greater than 3T. Therefore, it is no longer practical to use the ‘Vehicles over 3T GVM’ load limit signs on local roads.
The new signs would still make it illegal for trucks to use the signposted streets as a through route, while ensuring that large SUV’s or utility vehicles would be permitted to travel along these roads.
NOTE - Vehicles larger than 4.5t will still be able to use the streets for delivery of goods and services within those streets.
What will happen in the future?
Feedback from this process will be analysed and reported to the Ku-ring-gai Traffic Committee for a decision.
