A new heavy vehicle safety station along the Pacific Highway in New South Wales has opened, allowing drivers to self-check weights.
The new Pine Creek Heavy Vehicle Safety Station along the popular freight route is officially open, with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) saying it allows drivers to self-check mass during unstaffed hours.

“Remember to follow the signed directions, including to not park or attempt to adjust load onsite,” the NHVR says.
“So, if you’re heading northbound on the Pacific Highway, stop by and check your load!”
Self-checking weights outside of staffed hours was first trialled at the Pacific Highway site in April last year, with two other 24/7 sites since being trialled in NSW on the Newell Highway and at Halfway Creek on the Pacific Highway.
