Koromatua Road 80Km Speed Limit

David from Hillcrest

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: What do you think of the new police move-on powers?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Central Hamilton businesses are welcoming police being given new powers to move on vagrants, with a city retail advocate saying the previous hands-off approach wasn’t working.

On Sunday the Government announced it would grant police powers to order any individual rough sleeping, begging, or displaying disorderly behaviour to move on.

Chiefs resist rushing Damian McKenzie back for Super Rugby Pacific final

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The Chiefs are keeping Damian McKenzie on ice, with coach Jono Gibbes resisting the temptation to throw his star playmaker straight back into the fray against the Crusaders in Hamilton on Saturday night.

Having sat out the opening two rounds of the Super Rugby Pacific season on paternity leave following the birth of his first child, son, Louie, in the first week of February, McKenzie has re-joined the franchise for training this week.
