Sign of the times to help travellers navigate flood prone Cecil Plains Road

Sign of the times to help travellers navigate flood prone Cecil Plains Road

“This has happened frequently in recent years and several groups including the local Chamber of Commerce, Cecil Plains Lions Club, The Crier newspaper, the State Emergency Service have been calling for change.” Cr Taylor said Toowoomba Regional Council has taken the plight of residents to heart and helped obtain a Road Condition and Information Sign (RCIS) at Cecil Plains to warn travellers. “Residents can now stay at home, taking care of family, neighbours and community before being potentially isolated for up to 10 days.” Cr Taylor said the RCIS sign will be controlled by the State Government Traffic Management Control Centre to ensure the latest information can be relayed to residents as quickly as possible. “This sign will be installed to provide immediate warning to motorists of flooded road conditions using highly visible LED road signs, which will be automatically activated when flood water levels exceed the threshold determined to be unsuitable for safe passage,” she said.
