Poll: Are you in favour of these proposed new speed limits?

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Have your say on a proposal to change the speed limits of 26 roads in the west and north of Auckland.

Auckland Transport is seeking feedback on its proposal to set new permanent speed limits on the roads in Swanson, Massey, Warkworth, Matakana and Tāwharanui Peninsula.

Randhir Karma, AT's network management group manager, said many of the roads being looked at are narrow without any road markings, windy, hilly and in some cases, unsealed.

Motorists were already travelling at speeds well below the current limits on these roads due to the driving conditions, Karma said.

Rodney Local Board Chair Phelan Pirrie said speed limit changes on these roads are much needed.

“We’ve known for a long time that Rodney has some of the highest numbers of crashes in the country but these aren’t just numbers - they are mums, dads, kids, people simply going about their lives," he said.

Waitākere Ranges Local Board Chair Greg Presland said the geography of the ranges means there are many roads that can be dangerous when driven at speed.

Feedback is open until January 17 next year.
