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.
