Title: Old Pacific Hwy a 40 kmh limit from Mooney Mooney to Gosford Post by: craigo on May 28, 2009, 01:00:44 AM Haven't seen it myself so I'm not 100% certain it's true. But if it is true I will be make the beast with two backsING UPSET
Allegedly the 26km stretch from Mooney Mooney to the back of gosford (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Pacific+Hwy&daddr=-33.503328,151.193333+to:Pacific+Hwy&hl=en&geocode=FaZbAP4dTSYDCQ%3B%3BFbLLAf4dLhAECQ&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=13&via=1&sll=-33.495025,151.272297&sspn=0.182378,0.374222&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=13) is now pretty much exclusively 40Kmh.

I guess the NSW state government does need all the revenue it can get in these uncertain economic times. Bastards. Greedy Bastards. Title: Re: Old Pacific Hwy a 40 kmh limit from Mooney Mooney to Gosford Post by: Dockstrada on May 28, 2009, 01:44:30 AM One of the reasons I took to the track, for the cost of a track day you can speed as much as you like all day and that's all it will cost with out the risk of heavy fines and loss of licence.Best of all,if you F#*k up there ain't any trees or on coming cars to catch you :o
I now when i do get a chance to ride on the road take it as a leasurly ride with a few mates and soak in the view [thumbsup] That doesn't mean they [bacon] [leo] aren't greedy Bastards >:( Title: Re: Old Pacific Hwy a 40 kmh limit from Mooney Mooney to Gosford Post by: Six95 on May 28, 2009, 02:55:15 AM I rode that way last Monday (18/04/09) and it was 60km.
Maybe they changed it just recently If it is.....we may need to get "Claire the bogan slurry" to give the gov't a bit of a chk chk booooom Title: Re: Old Pacific Hwy a 40 kmh limit from Mooney Mooney to Gosford Post by: mattyvas on May 28, 2009, 04:05:36 AM I tend not to go up the OPH that much, I don't really like the road. Too many tar stripes and crazy sports bikers IMHO
Title: Re: Old Pacific Hwy a 40 kmh limit from Mooney Mooney to Gosford Post by: craigo on May 28, 2009, 04:10:54 AM It doesn't effect you southies as much as me [roll] it's akin to making the whole of Maq pass and the whole of RNP 40km zones on the southside.
Track days are awesome, but sometimes I don't have all day and $200. Sometime I just want to go up for a quick pie, a crap coffee [coffee] and a little *sensible* blat along a nice piece of road. 40Kms an hour isn't just leisurely, it's ridiculous; pushies can ride past you at that speed. And just because the speed limit is 40 doesn't mean that people aren't gonna screw up, even at that speed. p.s. matty: they haven't changed the speed on the Tar Stripe bit, it's still 80 and dangerous there.

Title: Re: Old Pacific Hwy a 40 kmh limit from Mooney Mooney to Gosford Post by: mattyvas on May 28, 2009, 04:38:21 AM Excellent so they have left the crappy surface and attacked the good bit of road.
Law makers.......... What can you say [roll] Title: Re: Old Pacific Hwy a 40 kmh limit from Mooney Mooney to Gosford Post by: Super T.I.B on May 28, 2009, 06:19:55 PM [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
God is PUNISHING YOU! If I can't have a bike, God is making everyone with one ride it at 40km/h. Don't worry, it will be coming to a favourite bike road soon. j/k The law is an ass.

I know, I'm full of useful advice. Title: Re: Old Pacific Hwy a 40 kmh limit from Mooney Mooney to Gosford Post by: bigiain on June 02, 2009, 11:07:46 PM On another forum I'm on (bikeme.tv) a guy mailed the RTA via their website form asking about it and got this response:
Quote The RTA has not authorised any drop in the speed limit of the Pacific Highway to 40 km/hr. Gosford Council without RTA approval has implemented this for roadworks. I will be discussing this urgently with Council today to resolve the matter.
