San Remo slow down

A speed hump will be installed in Potters Hill Road in San Remo, just before the intersection with Phillip Island Road.

The single hump is part of a 22 speed hump project, with the rest being installed in two roads in Cape Paterson.

Bass Coast Shire Council said the construction of speed humps in key locations were part of ongoing efforts to improve road safety for the community.

Works will start from May 11 and are expected to continue through to the end of the month, subject to weather and construction conditions.

In Cape Paterson, there will be 14 speed humps across Seaward Drive and seven on Surf Beach Road.

Speed humps (or speed platforms) slow vehicle speeds, to reduce the risk of crashes in busy pedestrian areas, residential streets and around intersections.

They also create calmer, quieter and more walkable neighbourhoods.

The speed humps are a standard residential "Watts profile" design and are spaced at approximately 100‑metre intervals where practical.

The works will include removal of sections of existing pavement, installation of speed humps and signage, and site reinstatement.

During construction, detours and traffic management will be in place to ensure the safety of workers and the public.

Access to properties will be maintained, and nearby residents and road users will be notified ahead of any impacts.

Residents can expect some temporary noise and vibration during works, with contractors working to minimise disruption wherever possible.
