For residents of the Central Coast, the time waisted sitting it traffic due to Sydney holiday makers is a real pain. Long weekends a simple 1 hour trip can be a 3-4 hour nightmare. :yeees:

WHERE have you been the last year or so sire?
The road is now 3 lanes in each direction Mt Colah through North of Gosford interchange.
I know the old traffic jams were bad, but predicatable - which is why we fought hard to have the old Pacific Highway re-opened after a landslide closed it many years ago, those repairs comprising a bridge cost just over 2 million federal dollars and which saw the Federal LIBS get Hon, Jim Loyd into office and now Roads Minister, a fellow road user advocate! Money well spent back then. This old highway runs alongside the F3 folks.
Thunder - The Mt White camera system is ex Wyong, this is for the NSW/SA Safe T Cam system but will tie in to the new point to point speed enforcement program.
You might recall ex NRMA CEO Carter giving strong NRMA support for *more* F3 cameras, it is appropriate he is not in that position now. Insane idea from the NRMA of the time, damned fools.
Anyhow, I mention this stuff, don't take it to mean I support the program. I am yet to see valid reason why we continue to install cameras, be they point to point or fixed on yet unopened new dual carriageway roads here in NSW, primarily on the Pacific highway upgrade.
Politics, mostly supported by north coast Labour women, see NSW parliamentary hansard on this for further discussion. $$$.
