West Ryde Library and its after-hours chutes are closed until further notice for essential safety repairs following a water leak from a nearby property. Our other libraries are still open.
City of Ryde along with Hornsby, Ku-ring-gai, Lane Cove, Mosman, North Sydney, Northern Beaches and Willoughby councils, in conjunction with Roads & Maritime Services, are working to make pedestrians more aware of the dangers of distraction while using mobile devices when they are out and about.
As pedestrians, we become more vulnerable when stepping out from the kerb if our head space is occupied with music and mobile phones because they limit hearing and reduce concentration and reaction times.
The Distracted…? campaign aims to reduce pedestrian crashes and challenge pedestrians zone in before stepping off the kerb.
