Koromatua Road 80Km Speed Limit

David from Hillcrest

Hi All!!

I'm no prude when it comes to driving and/or riding so I was taken aback when I thought to myself that a posted speed limit was excessive.

Although I rarely travel this road there are a lot of people that this will have an impact on and so I thought I'd raise this potential concern to see if anyone else feels the same and if so then to possibly initiate a change.

The section of road that I believe has an excessive speed limit is Koromatua Rd between Tuhikaramea Rd and somewhere after Barrett Rd. It is posted as 80Km and has a high pedestrian concentration with little or no safety devices ie barriers between the road and footpath as well as a school that essentially opens out right onto the road.

Please share your thoughts if this is relevant to you or someone you know.

Cheers, Dave

Poll: Do you go to live music gigs?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s “tough” running dive bars and speakeasies but a growing association is shaking up the New Zealand independent music scene.

These are the places where rising stars cut their teeth, members say, but they’re challenged by noise restrictions, alcohol licensing rules and the need to take on multiple tasks outside booking bands.
