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.
