Local councillors spoke to two Roads and Maritime Services managers about their concerns about the roads locally and regionally at a recent council meeting.
Mayor Ray Donald said the place where three boys died earlier this year in a motor vehicle accident due to fatigue needed to be a priority for the RMS.
"The section halfway to Trangie on this side, near the experimental farm is the worst with the trees. We need necessary help monitoring this," he told the RMS.
RMS Regional Maintenance Delivery Manager Alister Lunn speculated what would help the section of road.
"We can do rumble strips, I do wonder if tactile line marking would have made a difference, there is a lot of maintenance issues out here," he said.
Cr Donald said the amount of accidents along the road should warrant some kind of change.
"Perhaps the tragedies along the Nevertire/Trangie road could warrant them," he suggested.
Councillors also discussed the likelihood of B-Triple trucks being allowed to drive through town.
RMS Asset Manager Peter Stitt said there has been applications to allow the trucks through Nyngan and they were expecting another application to be submitted soon.
"A total of $40 million of applications have been coming in," he said.
So far all applications have been rejected, but Mr Stitt said that didn't mean they would always be rejected.
"People need to be aware on the Friday they won't be on the road and on the Monday they will be. People need to know they'll be driving 90 kilometres an hour, when we're doing 110 kilometres an hour," he said.
Cr Jim Hampstead, who also sits on the traffic management board, said he didn't want the trucks to be driving down the main street of Nyngan.
"Will it be an RTA decision or a council decision because I don't want triples going past the pre-school," he said.
Mr Stitt assured Cr Hampstead the decision would undergo rigorous consultation with the community.
