Drivers urged to slow down at Paramatta Creek road worksite

Tasmanian police are urging motorists to slow down at roadworks after police recently issued infringements at Paramatta Creek.

Inspector Nick Clark said some motorists ignore temporary traffic lights, putting road workers' lives at risk.

"Officers from Western Road Policing Services attended and fined nine motorists for failing to stop as required on a red traffic light, attracting a penalty of three demerit points and a fine of $181," he said.

"Police monitor roadwork sites across the state because these workers have the right to arrive home safely at the end of their shift."
