en.Wedoany.com Reported - The New South Wales government has installed 10 new green reflective sign points along major freight routes to help heavy vehicle drivers in the Upper Hunter region find rest areas more easily.

The New South Wales government has added these signs on sections of the Golden Highway and the New England Highway to help truck drivers find suitable parking spots when driving at night or in low visibility. The reflective signs are located near Denman, Mount Thorley, and Warkworth on the Golden Highway, as well as at multiple points between Ardglen, Liddell, Muswellbrook, Wingen, and Murulla on the New England Highway.

The initiative helps manage fatigue by providing simple visual cues indicating that a rest area is nearby where drivers can stop, rest, sleep, or check their loads. This installation follows the placement of 14 green reflective sign points in southern New South Wales last year, as part of a broader plan to improve safety and rest opportunities for heavy vehicle drivers. The work is funded by the New South Wales government's $11.9 million Heavy Vehicle Rest Stop Minor Works Program, which provides funding for rest area upgrades across the state, including improvements to lighting, signage, pedestrian safety measures, and amenities. The New South Wales government stated it will continue to work with the industry to identify further opportunities to expand the reflective sign network and improve heavy vehicle rest facilities across the state.
