Speed limits around schools to be lowered

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch’s rangatahi (children) will have a safer time getting to and from school after city councillors voted to cut speed limits on nearly 2000 streets.

Drivers travelling in school zones can expect a limit of 30kph or 40kph in surrounding neighbourhoods.

Councillors voted nine to three in favour of the reductions as part of a speed management plan for the city discussed at a meeting on Wednesday.
