More truck parking at the Port Macquarie BP 24hr service station (Pacific Hwy)
- Target:
- More truck parking.
- Region:
- Australia
The Port Macquarie 24hr BP service station also known as the donut, is a halfway point between Brisbane and Sydney for trucks to stop to use clean amenities and have breaks.
There used to be adequate parking spaces for truck drivers to stop for their allocated rest breaks but now they only have parking bays for 2 trucks and other parking for caravans and cars with trailers. This results in trucks having to park on the side of the highway. There is unused land next to the Macdonald's where their could be more safe and adequate parking for trucks.
The council are currently working on installing a bus bay at the donut so busses and coaches have a safer place to stop instead of the on the side of the highway.
This petition is for more safer parking spaces for heavy vehicles.
This petition is on behalf of the Trantsport Industry to call on the Hastings Council to provide more adequate parking for heavy vehicles at the Port Macquarie 24hr BP service station on the corner of the Pacific and Oxley Highway.
With the change of parking that's now available for heavy vehicles, trucks are forced to stop on the side of the highway or at the petrol bowsers, which sometimes can block traffic flow.
The council are currently installing a bus bay so busses and coaches have a safer place to stop, we are simply asking for the same thing as more trucks stop and use this 24hr service station alot more frequently than busses.
Please support and sign this petition to help provide safer parking for all heavy vehicles.
