The Golden Highway is getting a high-tech upgrade to tackle rising traffic chaos from the Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone, with a smart system called the Rural Intersection Speed Zone now testing in Cassilis. Using radar, it dynamically adjusts speed limits to improve safety at busy intersections where heavy trucks dominate. Designed to help side-street vehicles merge safely and reduce accidents, this NSW-first trial aims to ease frustration from locals already struggling with oversized freight and hazardous conditions. Backed by a $128 million investment, the system could reshape how freight moves safely across the state — and whether it works will be watched closely.
