Many thanks to Tim at 156 who persuaded Hobart Council to erect three of these wildlife signs in the valley.
And to Philip at 136 for prompting the temporary installation of this speed indicator device, as an education tool /warning for local motorists.
As for Hobart Council’s proposed speed humps, these have been challenged with ferocity in various appeal tribunals by some people opposed to them. We have no choice but to await the ultimate verdict. You can hear more about this at this week’s community meeting.

It was professionally done like a proper road sign, presumably with council approval.
Does anyone else find the location of the speed monitor a bit iffy?
A blind corner where most cars have slowed down is not really giving an accurate reading.
Will they be moving the monitor to another location in the street?
Hi Susie
Yes, the speed monitor will apparently be moved after being in it’s current location for two-ish weeks. It should be moved up near your place to show people coming down the hill what their speed is, eg. encourage people to slow down once they hit our street.

Cool, feel free to park it right infront of our scooter stables. Might give more than a few a bit of a shock how fast they wizz past the houses, joggers, walkers, doggies, kids etc.
By the way, on Sunday the lovely Ranger at Waterworks Reserve was pulling up cars driving through the park at over the designated 20 kmph. Champion effort!
