Speed limits changing on Yaldhurst roads

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Speed limits on some roads in Yaldhurst will be lowered at the beginning of December according to Christchurch City Council.

Slower speed limits are proposed for State Highway 73 extending west through the Yaldhurst township. The existing speed limits were 80km/h and 100km/h, with 70km/h through Yaldhurst town centre.

A limit of 60km/h is proposed for the urban fringe and Yaldhurst town centre with a reduction to 80km/h for the west of Yaldhurst, while the intervening rural section east of Yaldhurst is to remain at 80km/h.

Changes were also made for Ryans, Pound, Hasketts and School roads.

The speed limits for these roads are being reduced from 70km/h or 80km/h to 60km/h. Sections of Ryans, Hasketts and School roads have already been changed. Remaining changes on Ryans and Pound roads will be coordinated with changes to SH73.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
