yep, thats right... the RTA have now slowed down Bells Line 100kph zones to 80kph...

no more fast windy roads :happy:

It's a slow road to Windsor

The RTA sprung a surprise on motorists yesterday with a major reduction in the speed limit along virtually the entire length of the Bells Line of Road.

All 100 kph limits have now been reduced to 80.

But the overnight change left most motorists confused as there had been no advance notification or consultation, at least at the western end of the Bells Line.

Even the police Highway Patrol had not been advised of the change and resultant new rules of engagement with errant motorists.

The first time most motorists became aware that changes were afoot was when RTA variable message boards appeared last week indicating that speed changes would take effect from November 5.

But adding to the confusion was the fact that while signs were facing west bound traffic at Mt Tomah and west of Bell, the first illuminated sign for east bound traffic was at Mt Wilson.

This was despite the fact that east bound out of Lithgow the previous 100 limit began on the Chifley Road at Dargan.

Lithgow police confirmed yesterday that they were not aware of the speed limit changes.

But in a statement released yesterday morning the RTA said it was reducing a number of speed limits along Bells Line of Road to provide more consistency and to improve road safety.

A spokesman for the Parramatta office said speed limits in NSW, as in other parts of Australia, are determined by a number of factors including the surrounding conditions, road alignment, road usage, adjacent development, vehicle types and volumes, crash history and the number of access points along the route.

The speed reductions will consolidate the 22 speed zones along the Bells Line of Road to 18 zones.

This 72 kilometre length of road has had 706 crashes in a five year period resulting in seven fatalities and 354 injuries.

“These speed limit reductions will not only improve road safety but will also provide consistent 60 kmh speed zones through residential and commercial areas and a consistent 80 kmh on rural stretches,” the spokesman said.

As a result, motorists will find it easier to know and comply with these limits.

The existing fixed speed camera at Kurrajong Heights is installed in a 60 kmh zone and the speed limit will not be reduced.

The 100 kph speed limit will only be provided on higher quality lengths of rural road.

The RTA will also upgrade the number and size of speed limit signs along the entire length of Bells Line of Road.

These speed limit reductions in conjunction with additional repeater signs and curve advisory signs are expected to provide significant road safety benefits on Bells Line of Road.

The spokesman said motorists were being advised of the imminent reduction in the speed limit through the use of fixed trailer Variable Message Signs along Bells Line since last week.

RTA puts Bells Line speed limit changes on hold

Posted Tue Nov 13, 2007 8:05am AEDT

The Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) will go back to the drawing board over controversial speed changes proposed for the Bells Line of Road.

Last week, the RTA announced it was introducing a maximum speed limit of 80 kilometres an hour on the road through the Blue Mountains.

The changes would consolidate 22 speed zones to 18.

The RTA said the slower speed limits would help reduce accidents on the Bells Line where there have been seven fatal accidents in the past five years.

However, the Central West Regional Organisation of Councils (CENTROC) said it was a bandaid solution, while other groups criticised the lack of consultation.

The RTA has now put the changes on hold, while further discussions are held with stakeholders, including police and local councils.

Until the consultation process is complete, the old speeds will remain in place.

CENTROC chairman John Davis says CENTROC still believes the speed reduction is the wrong way to tackle road safety.

"We're always concerned that bringing the speed limit down to 80 across the Bells Line of Road was a bandaid solution and wasn't appropriate, I didn't think, anyway," he said.

It looks like a few 31's will be up for the run, you able to lock in a depart time?

i would probably guess around 8ish but i can probably confirm tomorrow...hopefully my car is back on the road by then

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
