Public opinion sought on speed limit changes
Auckland Transport will make streets in Te Atatū South’s residential area safer for all road users by installing speed-calming measures that will help to slow vehicles. The area will also be subject to a future lower speed limit of 30km/h.
AT is seeking feedback on its proposal, which includes installing speed tables, speed humps and raised intersections. The area is southwest of the Northwestern Motorway, bounded by Te Atatū and Edmonton Roads to the south, and Central Park Drive and Henderson Creek to the west.
The project is part of AT’s commitment to reducing death and serious injuries on our roads by 60 per cent in the next 10 years.
Public feedback is open until Sunday 18 November. You can have your say here.
A drop in session to find out more about the plans will be held on Saturday 10 November from 12.30 -2.30pm at the Te Atatū South Community Centre, 247 Edmonton Road, Te Atatū South.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
