Member for Bathurst Paul Toole said the $400,000 project will alert drivers to the narrow, steep and winding conditions along 7.4 kilometres of Jenolan Caves Road between Hartley and Good Forest.
"This section of Jenolan Caves Road between Hartley and Duckmaloi Road at Hampton has a lot of curves and bends which have resulted in numerous crashes over the years," Mr Toole said.
"While there were some existing safety features through this section, including safety barriers and curve alignment markers on some curves, this new signage will alert drivers to the conditions ahead to slow down and take extra care."
