🚗 Artarmon Car Breakdown on Gore Hill Freeway On-Ramp Clears

A vehicle breakdown that caused disruptions on the Reserve Road on-ramp to the Gore Hill Freeway, affecting eastbound traffic in Artarmon, has now been successfully cleared. Transport for NSW reported the car breakdown as an unplanned incident, which, while now resolved, required motorists to reduce speed, prepare to merge, and exercise caution in the area.

The incident on the state road momentarily impacted the flow of traffic, a common concern for Artarmon residents and commuters navigating the busy suburb. Artarmon's traffic challenges are well-documented, with local efforts including a 'Traffic Calming Project' in the Artarmon Local Centre aimed at reducing car speeds and improving pedestrian safety.

Transport for NSW plays a critical role in managing such unplanned traffic incidents across the state network. These events, which can degrade safety and slow traffic, are handled through structured incident management arrangements, often in collaboration with emergency services. Members of the public are encouraged to report incidents, including breakdowns, by calling the Service NSW Incident Reporting Line on 131 700. This swift reporting and efficient response help minimise delays and restore normal traffic conditions.
