The proposal is open for public consultation until 5pm, Friday 30 June 2023. The following poll's aim is to gather people's views on reducing the speed limit for main arterial roads and non-arterial (local) streets.
Main arterial roads carry many vehicles and are the main connection between many suburbs. Public transport bus routes make heavy usage of arterial roads. They include the Main Road in Tawa, Middleton Road, Burma Road, Khandallah Road, Ottawa Road, Newlands Road, etc. Some images of the Main Road in Tawa are shown below as examples for reference, as well as a couple of non-arterial (local) streets for comparison. Generally, non-arterial (local) streets are narrower and found in residential suburbs.
Roads currently have reduced speed restriction limits and signage around specific areas such as schools, pedestrian areas, etc and also measures such as speed bumps, crossings and roundabouts to reduce speed in key areas. Some of these restrictions will become redundant with the proposed new 30 km/h speed limit applied along the entire length of roads.
There is much variability in road quality and lane width of many non-arterial streets with some being very narrow and others being as good as many arterial roads. Trying to group these better quality non-arterial streets together with main arterial roads goes beyond the scope of this poll but they could possibly be more closely assessed on a case by case basis. However, applying a blanket 30 km/h speed limit is probably easier to implement.
Do you agree with the new 30 km/h speed limit planned for both main arterial roads and non-arterial (local) streets?
