Background
The City is considering a proposal to remove two sets of
speed cushions and install centre line markings in Henderson Road, Alexandria.
In 2021, the City of Sydney installed eight sets of speed
cushions along Henderson Road to help manage vehicle speeds and improve safety
for all road users. Since their installation, we’ve received feedback from
residents about the number of speed humps and whether they are still required.
