Koromatua Road 80Km Speed Limit
Hi All!!
I'm no prude when it comes to driving and/or riding so I was taken aback when I thought to myself that a posted speed limit was excessive.
Although I rarely travel this road there are a lot of people that this will have an impact on and so I thought I'd raise this potential concern to see if anyone else feels the same and if so then to possibly initiate a change.
The section of road that I believe has an excessive speed limit is Koromatua Rd between Tuhikaramea Rd and somewhere after Barrett Rd. It is posted as 80Km and has a high pedestrian concentration with little or no safety devices ie barriers between the road and footpath as well as a school that essentially opens out right onto the road.
Please share your thoughts if this is relevant to you or someone you know.
Cheers, Dave

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)
