The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator has opened a new inspection station on this major freight link in New South Wales.
This new inspection station is located on the Golden Highway, about 5.5 kilometres east of Ballimore between Dubbo and Dunedoo, along the Golden Highway, and will be operated by the NHVR.
The Golden Highway connects Dubbo in the state’s west with the Hunter region, Newcastle and Sydney via the Castlereagh Highway and Great Western Highway.
According to the NHVR, the new site will “deliver a safety boost” along this key freight route.
“The Ballimore Heavy Vehicle Safety Station (HVSS) will require all heavy vehicles travelling along the Golden Highway to enter the HVSS when directed,” said the NHVR.
“The HVSS operating hours and staffing levels will vary to match traffic patterns but can operate up to 24 hours a day, at peak times including weekends and public holidays.
“The HVSS sites are fitted with safety software which can determine a heavy vehicle’s registration status and defect status, while also accessing Safe-T-Cam sightings that along with the driver’s work diary, can assist with monitoring driver fatigue.”
