Poll: Proposed speed limit changes in Franklin

Natalie Polley Reporter from Franklin County News

A controversial plan by Auckland Transport to slash speed limits on hundreds of Auckland roads has many motorists hot under the collar, but some locals welcome the news.
800 roads in Auckland and the surrounding region could see speed limit changes should the bylaw, that began consultation last month, go through. The new proposal would see the speed limit on Cape Hill Rd changed from 100kmh to 60kmh, with many other major rural roads in the region dropping to 80kmh.

What are your thoughts? Are you for or against the changes? Do you think speeds on our rural roads are a problem - or is it the underdeveloped roads that are the problem?
