Answer -

- to (3) The NSW Government supports cycling as an affordable, sensible and
healthy transport choice and to help reduce congestion in urban
areas.
One example is that in 2011-12, Roads and Maritime Services
designed mid-block traffic lights to be installed on Hannell Street,
Maryville. This will provide an important crossing on the Newcastle City
to University cycleway route.
The draft NSW Long Term Transport
Master Plan will set out the Government's high-level cycling strategy for NSW
cities and towns.
