Speed reductions in Swan Hill CBD
The speed limit has been reduced to 40km/h in some areas of the Swan Hill CBD.
Swan Hill Rural City Council Director Engineering, Svetla Petkova said the reduction in speed followed recommendations from the Department of Transport in response to recently installed dining pods throughout areas of the Swan Hill CBD.
“The dining pod program is a way for us to extend outdoor dining options, while social distancing and COVID-19 restrictions on the hospitality industry continue to be in place,” she said.
Ms Petkova said dining pods are the re-purposing of parking bays outside a hospitality business, in the interest of increasing footpath trading and providing a safe, socially distanced environment for patrons.
