Poll: Should the speed limit be reduced to 70kmh on rural roads?

Rhonwyn Newson Reporter from Rodney Times

A landmark report by an inter-governmental organisation with 59 member countries - including New Zealand - is recommending that rural roads that don't have median barriers should have their speed limits lowered to 70kmh.

Taken literally, that would mean that almost NZ's entire roading network, state highways included, would need to have their speed limits reduced to 70kmh. Only those section of motorways with median barriers would be allowed to retain their 100kmh limit.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
