New speed limits to slow down SH6 from Hope to Wakefield
From July 30, the existing 100kmh zones on SH6 between Hope and Wakefield will be reduced to 80kmh, while in Hope township and Wakefield north the speed limit will go from 70kmh to 60kmh.
Let us know your thoughts on the changes - will they help to make the road safer or create a new set of problems for road users?
