Poll: Do you think the six-week South Waikato closure is needed?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

www.waikatotimes.co.nz...
|The country’s main north/south artery is set to be cut south of Tokoroa for six weeks|, sparking disbelief from the truckies and workers using it daily and now facing long detours.

They say they don’t understand why State Highway 1 between Tokoroa and Kinleith has to be closed, and felt proposed detours were unsuitable to handle the tens of thousands of extra vehicles using them during the closure.

What do you think the speed limit should be around schools?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Switching to variable vehicle speed limits outside a dozen Hamilton schools is potentially “gambling with children’s lives”, says the city’s deputy mayor Angela O’Leary.

The schools currently have permanent 30kph limits but the Government has ordered a change as part of its push-back on speed limits lowered over the past few years.
