Poll: What are your thoughts on a 60kph speed limit?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

In a significant u-turn, a majority of people surveyed are now supporting a speed limit reduction on Wairere Drive that is part of consent conditions for a major new Pak’nSave supermarket in Te Rapa.

Wednesday’s city council traffic, speed limit and road closure hearings panel is due to hear and consider verbal public submissions on the issue and prepare a report for consideration by the next full council meeting on 30 April.

What are your thoughts on a 60kph speed limit there? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
