New cycleway and 30kmh speed limit proposed for central Christchurch street
The 30 kilometre an hour speed limit in much of Christchurch’s city centre is likely to be extended.
Christchurch City Council wants to reduce the speed on Colombo St from Bealey Ave to Kilmore St from 50kmh to 30kmh to make way for a cycleway. The speed limit could also be reduced on Peterborough St between Durham St and Manchester St.
The cycleway is designed to connect Papanui to the central city.
It is proposed to use paint to create a buffer between the cycleway and the road, instead of a concrete barrier seen in other parts of the city.
Paint on the road and moveable tree planters would provide a visual cue to slow down and create a more welcoming environment, the council said.
