Seasonal fluctuations in population in the Shoalhaven means that the warmer months of the year are typically the busiest for traffic and pedestrian surveys. This is business as usual, and Council is reminding its residents and holiday makers not to be alarmed when seeing traffic survey equipment across the road network.
Recently, Council staff has been fielding numerous inquiries from the public regarding the sudden appearance of "black boxes" across the road network. There was 170 of these boxes across Nowra-Bomaderry, which was part of a large-scale traffic survey conducted by Transport for NSW (TfNSW) to understand the current use and performance of the road network and will inform the Nowra bypass and transport improvements investigation.
