Richmond Hill Road is narrow and in some places the footpath is the same height as the road. People park vehicles on the footpath to avoid blocking the narrow road and this creates safety issues for pedestrians who are forced to walk on the road to get around the parked vehicles. The parked vehicles can also prevent larger emergency services vehicles from accessing properties further up Richmond Hill Road.

We’re planning to formally mark the footpath area and add no stopping restrictions between the bend near 70 Richmond Hill Road and the bend near 54 Richmond Hill Road, to make it safer for everyone.
