Council proposes ‘pro-people’ speed limit drops across Christchurch
Speed limits on vast chunks of Christchurch roads will drop to 30 or 40kph - and some to even 10kph - under a new city council proposal to improve safety.
The existing 60kph speed limits on main roads like Memorial Ave, Aldwins Rd, Linwood Ave and Blenheim Rd could also be dumped in favour of new 50kph limits.
The proposals feature in Christchurch City Council’s draft Safer Speed Plan, released for public consultation on Monday.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.
But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
