Local motorists will soon have more real-time traffic information data at their fingertips with the NSW Government adding Cowra Shire to its Live Traffic NSW website and app.
“We have fast-tracked the onboarding of councils who have been severely impacted by the recent flooding events, which is a major win for those travelling in and out of flood-impacted areas in NSW,” Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke said.
“This means Councils will be able to upload road closure and incident information to Live Traffic NSW in real time from 23 January 2023, which feeds data into third party apps like Google Maps, Waze and Tom Tom.
Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway also revealed emergency broadcast signs are being installed across the state. “Within weeks we will have installed all 99 signs that will display local ABC radio frequencies so people in our regions know where to turn for emergency information during a natural disaster,” Mr Farraway said.
“This was a recommendation from the NSW Bushfire Inquiry, as was the inclusion of local roads on Live Traffic NSW and we’re getting on with the job of ensuring our communities are safe in times of emergencies.”
