The existing 80km\/h zone (blue) will be extended (red) to the intersection with the Bunya Highway (Map: SBRC)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 15, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

The speed limit on the western end of Taylors Road in Kingaroy will be lowered to 80km\/h next week in a bid to improve safety.<\/p>\n

The change will come into effect next Tuesday (March 22).<\/p>\n

A South Burnett Regional Council spokesperson said the decision had been made after a recent Traffic Advisory Committee meeting.<\/p>\n

“The existing 100km\/h section has been reviewed and the decision was made to reduce this section back to 80km\/h,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“Please drive to the prevailing road conditions and to adhere to signage.”<\/p>\n

The decision means traffic will be travelling 20km\/h slower when it reaches the dangerous Bunya Highway intersection.<\/p>\n

The Taylors Road \/ Bunya Highway intersection has been the site of many serious traffic crashes over the years which have continued despite a “black spot” upgrade in 2017.<\/p>\n

In July last year, Council voted to write to the Department of Transport and Main Roads to request the existing 80km\/h speed zone on the highway be extended a\u00a0few hundred metres past Taylor\u2019s Road to improve safety at the intersection.<\/p>\n

As of Tuesday, the 100km\/h zone had not been moved on the highway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
