| Which option do you prefer? |
Option 2: Retain the current 80km/h speed limit, do not change speed limit
|
| Please tell us why? |
As you have shown with your own data people don't do 80 they are driving to the conditions correctly. The section across bridge and to horotiu should be lowered first, or in conjunction.
Spending 35k reducing limits is not a required expense when traffic is already doing the right thing. Also the signalised crossing although required has nowhere to go other than bus stop so the cheapest possible option here would be best as most people will be driving to Hamilton, there better not be any plans for a speed jump/table here as this would be a pure waste of funds and everyone's time. |
| Do you think any other physical changes are required to support the proposed speed limit change? |
Extending the cycle lane into horotiu from the bridge.
