ROAD officials have no plans to lower the 70km/h speed limit on the northern approach to the Captain Cook Bridge where a truck trailer rolled over last month.
However, warning signs advising motorists to reduce their speed to 45km/h on the curve are currently under review.
Residents in apartment blocks on Rocky Point Road called for a speed-limit cut after the crash which caused two-hour traffic delays.
A spokeswoman for Roads and Maritime Services said the 70km/h speed limit applied from 15 metres north of Ritchie Street to 350 metres south of Fraters Avenue.
"The RMS reviewed the speed limit on this section of the road in September 2009 and the limit was found to be appropriate," she said.
"To improve safety, curve advisory signs on the south-bound approach to the Captain Cook Bridge were upgraded.
"In 2012, the RMS installed a 250-metre central concrete barrier on Rocky Point Road between Fontainebleau Street and the St George Sailing Club to improve safety and reduce head-on crash risk.
"Work was completed in May this year to install a 560-metre safety barrier on Captain Cook Bridge to improve safety.
"The RMS will review the curve warning signage for heavy vehicles on approach to the bridge in the coming weeks."
Andrew Czech, who lives in a home unit on the bend, was pleased the warning signs were being reviewed.
"They need to stand out a lot more," he said.
Mr Czech said he hoped the RMS would also review the speed limit. He said it made no sense for the suggested limit to be 25km/h less than what was allowed.
Is this the right response from Roads and Maritime Services?
