Smart Technology Programs

Reviewed

Project overview

Transport for NSW has established a number of Smart Technology Programs to help deliver the NSW Government’s commitment to reduce road congestion and improve road user experience across Greater Sydney and NSW regional centres.

These programs will trial and deploy a range of innovative technology solutions which aim to:

  • reduce congestion
  • simplify information for road users
  • configure traffic lights to balance the needs of all road users
  • enhance incident management and emergency response
  • improve road safety.

Smart Signage Program 

The Smart Signage Program is trialling a modern solution to complex clearway and parking signage by replacing existing signs with one, easy to understand digital sign.

The new signs will display current and upcoming parking restrictions, providing customers with simple, accurate, real-time information at busy kerbside locations.

Benefits include: 

  • simpler and easier to understand signs
  • a potential reduction in accidental non-compliance and fines
  • a potential reduction in towing incidents
  • potential improvements in traffic flow in key locations due to better road network performance and efficiency.

Transport will be carrying out a Smart Signage trial to assess the benefits of the technology as well as community feedback. Please visit yoursay.transport.nsw.gov.au/smart-signage for more information, and to have your say via the community survey from 28 November 2022.
