THE Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has undertaken road works to reduce the speed limit on Montville–Mapleton Road and Nambour–Mapleton Road through the Mapleton township.
An approximately 860-metre stretch of road will now have the speed limit reduced from 60 km/h to 50 km/h.
• On Montville–Mapleton Road
(locally known as Flaxton Drive),
travelling towards Mapleton,
the 50 km/h speed zone will
start just north of the
intersection with Wilga Court
(approximately 450 metres prior
to the intersection with Obi Obi
Road).
• On Nambour–Mapleton Road,
travelling towards Mapleton,
the new 50 km/h zone will start
approximately 410 metres prior
to the intersection with Obi Obi
Road.
These important changes are being made to improve motorist and pedestrian safety in response to concerns raised with TMR.
