Call to lower speed limit at black spot where 50 people have died

Reporter Community News

Do you support lowering the speed limit on SH2 between between Remutaka Hill and Silverstream?
Upper Hutt City councillor Angela McLeod​ says an immediate 80kmh restriction until the road can be made safe.
“It’s dangerous and the reason it’s dangerous is because it was never designed to be a state highway,” McLeod said. “It was always going to be an arterial route, a bypass for Upper Hutt, and so over the years things have changed as the traffic numbers have increased and it’s become more dangerous.”
In January it was reported there had been 48 deaths between River Road and Kaitoke, north of Upper Hutt, since 1987.
