| Which option do you prefer? |
Option 1: Reduce the speed limit from 80km/h to 60km/h
|
| Please tell us why? |
The distance from the Motorway round about to Hutchinson Rd roundabout is minimal and having a pedestrian crossing with lights provides a suitable speed for drivers exiting a 100km and what is likely in time to be 110km motorway.
Note - not part of the submission but changing the name of the Te Awa Lakes access road to Te Awa Lakes Road makes more sense! |
| Do you think any other physical changes are required to support the proposed speed limit change? |
I do not support a raised pedestrian crossing. Keep the crossing simple for vehicles and pedestrians/ cyclists.
Coming off the expressway going south the vegetation looking back on the old South Road creates a blind spot for drivers looking to their right before entering the round about. |
| How do you travel through the area? |
Drive, Bike/Scooter
|
| What do you use Te Rapa Road north for? |
It's a local road close to my house, Travelling north bound/south bound
|
| Are you giving feedback on behalf of an organisation? |
No, these are my own personal views
