7am and 9am; and
4pm and 6 pm
within the Sydney, Newcastle, Gosford and Wollongong zones, and on the Sydney to Newcastle Freeway (F3) between the Hawkesbury River and the Pacific Highway interchange at Kariong.
AND
during the standard clearway or transitway hours in Sydney between the hours of:
6am and 10am; and
3 pm and 7 pm
where clearway or transit lane restrictions apply.
The above travel concessions do not apply on statewide holidays or public holidays.
Cranes operating under the MCCBS can also obtain access into and within Sydney CBD under specific conditions.
