Consultation on a draft Speed Management Plan for Kāpiti now open
Kia ora Kāpiti. Consultation on a draft Speed Management Plan for Kāpiti is now open. To find out about it and submit your thoughts, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
Key points to know:
– The Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2022 requires all road-controlling authorities to develop Speed Management Plans.
– This draft Speed Management Plan outlines what a transport network *could* look like in 10 years.
– It also provides a three-year implementation programme for ‘high-benefit areas’ identified by Waka Kotahi.
– We’re asking for feedback on proposals to reduce speed limits outside 20 Kāpiti schools, on three road corridors and in five town centres before 2027.
– We're also asking for feedback on options for speed management beyond 2027.
Submissions close 9 June 2023, so there's plenty of time to read the plan and provide responses.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
