Safer roads, safer speeds Hamilton
We want you to help us work out a plan to manage speeds which feel unsafe or inappropriate in our city. It’s about making sure we have the right speeds on the right roads – so whether you’re on foot, bike or in the car they’re safe for everyone.
Click here to answer some questions we’d love your thoughts on. There’s also a map to show us where in Hamilton you think speeds aren’t right or it feels unsafe, and tell us the reason why. In each of the questions you can comment and vote for the ideas you like. This is open until 7 December 2018.
We’re also going to be out and about talking with you.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.7% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.5% No, I enjoy it
-
1.7% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...
