Following the release of the New Zealand Transport Authority's Speed Management Guide in November 2016, council undertook a review of local limits and is now seeking input from the community on its proposed changes.
Policy Manager Nick Carroll said speed limit changes are proposed for Western Bays, Mangakino, Kinloch, Acacia Bay and Taupo. The changes address concerns that have been raised by the community or affect areas that have a history of traffic issues, he said.
"We're proposing some speed limit changes to recognise the way some of our roads are now used, and to make sure the speed limits on our roads are safe and appropriate. Locals know their roads best, and they know how they're used and what the risks are, so we want your feedback and ideas."
