Speed limit sign upgrades - Water Street, Brown Hill

We’re installing Electronic School Zone Limit Signs outside Caledonian Primary School to keep everyone safe on Water Street.

Project status:

Underway

Update – October 2026

Works are progressing on the speed limit sign upgrades outside Caledonian Primary School.

Crews have installed the sign infrastructure, including underground cabling, electrical supply pits and concrete foundations.

Works will now pause for a short period. Crews will return to install the signs anda power audit and signal connection will be completed by the external provider. 

Once the electronic speed signs are operational, crews will return to site and remove the existing static speed signs.

The signs will be installed on the western and eastern approaches of Caledonian Primary School on Water Street at the existing static speed sign sites.

Construction impacts

Work hours will be between 9am and 3pm to help minimise disruptions at school drop off and pick up times.

Traffic management, including intermittent lane closures, delays of up to 5 minutes and a reduced speed limit, will be in place during construction to protect the safety of crews and road users.

Please note: dates and timeframes of these works are dependent on a range of factors, including favourable weather and site conditions.

About the project

Currently there are static 40km/h speed zone signs on Water Street.
Under the Regional Roads Upgrade program, we are adding electronic speed limit signs to keep everyone safe.

These signs will:

  • improve visibility of speed signage and increase drivers' awareness of the 40km/h speed limit during school hours
  • reduce vehicle speeds and decrease the risk of collisions and injuries for pedestrians, especially the students at Caledonian Primary School.

This work is important because we know vulnerable road users are much more likely to die or be seriously injured from a crash. For example, a pedestrian hit by a car travelling at 30km/h has a 90 per cent chance of surviving. If they are hit at 40km/h, they have a 60 per cent chance. At 50km/h this drops to a 10 per cent chance of survival.
