Safe System approach to lower speeds

The Team from Christchurch City Council

We're asking the community to share their views on a proposed Speed Management Plan to improve safety on roads in Marshland, Spencerville and Kainga.

The proposed plan targets lower speeds on the city’s key eastern routes, including Marshland Road.

Four people died and 28 people were seriously injured in road accidents in the area between 2013 and 2017, while 77 people suffered minor injuries.

There were 155 non-injury crashes in the same period.

Under the plan, a proposed lower limit – dropping from 80km/h or 70km/h to 60km/h – will be supported by intersection signage and more road markings and centre line reflectors.

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

With pointed fangs, I sit and wait;

and physically join with a single bite.
