New highway signs to put Cookernup on the map

New directional signs installed this week on South Western Highway are set to put the small town of Cookernup on the map.

The new signs will be located 250 metres either side of the Riverdale Road turn-off for the Cookernup townsite, giving motorists and tourists additional time to safely slow down and turn.

Community concerns around speed limits through Cookernup have also been addressed following a recent meeting between Mrs Clarke, the Shire of Harvey and Main Roads Western Australia.

The existing 60kmh speed zone that runs through the townsite on Riverdale Road, starting just before the Salisbury Road intersection and ending just after Brockman Road, is set to be extended by 220 metres.

Main Roads will also be approaching the Shire of Harvey to install black and yellow 50kmh reminder signs throughout residential streets in Cookernup.
