Poll: Do you agree with the proposal to impose speed limits on Ninety Mile Beach?
Northland authorities want to slash the speed limit on one of New Zealand’s most iconic beaches to protect it for future generations.
The Te Oneroa-a-Tōhe Board, which oversees the management of Ninety Mile Beach, proposed to lower the beach’s speed limit to 30km/ph in parts, as part of its draft beach management plan.
The speed limit would apply when motorists are within 200 metres of any beach access points or activities such as boat launching or people fishing.
A 60km/ph speed limit is proposed for the rest of the beach.
The beach management was planned of the back of public concerns and feedback regarding the safety of beach-goers, following reports of dangerous free-for-all careless driving, which has seen several fatal accidents and at least one fur seal run over.
