A spokesperson for Transport for NSW said the organisation has listened to community concerns and will reduce the speed limit on a 10 kilometre stretch of the road from Coonamia Road to just north of Lighthouse Road.

"Road users will have a safer journey to and from Currarong from next week with the Currarong Road speed limit reduced," the spokesperson said.

"The speed limit will be reduced from 100 km/h to 80 km/h, providing a consistent speed along Currarong Road and provide a safer road environment for all road users."

Road users are asked to keep an eye out for the changes and follow the directions of signs.
