Should the speed limit be reduced for trucks coming into Picton?
Hi neighbours - residents on a hillside highway near Picton fear trucks "barrelling" into town at high speeds will cause an accident, and have noticed an increase in engine brake noise.
Picton man Neil Henderson says he'd support a permanent speed camera or police officer sitting in an unmarked car at the entrance to Picton. He wants the speed limit reduced to 70kmh from 100kmh.
Have you noticed issues with these trucks? Do you think the speed limit should be reduced?
