Council proposes ‘pro-people’ speed limit drops across Christchurch

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Speed limits on vast chunks of Christchurch roads will drop to 30 or 40kph - and some to even 10kph - under a new city council proposal to improve safety.

The existing 60kph speed limits on main roads like Memorial Ave, Aldwins Rd, Linwood Ave and Blenheim Rd could also be dumped in favour of new 50kph limits.

The proposals feature in Christchurch City Council’s draft Safer Speed Plan, released for public consultation on Monday.
