Safe System approach to lower speeds
We're asking the community to share their views on a proposed Speed Management Plan to improve safety on roads in Marshland, Spencerville and Kainga.
The proposed plan targets lower speeds on the city’s key eastern routes, including Marshland Road.
Four people died and 28 people were seriously injured in road accidents in the area between 2013 and 2017, while 77 people suffered minor injuries.
There were 155 non-injury crashes in the same period.
Under the plan, a proposed lower limit – dropping from 80km/h or 70km/h to 60km/h – will be supported by intersection signage and more road markings and centre line reflectors.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
