| Which option do you prefer? |
Option 2: Retain the current 80km/h speed limit, do not change speed limit
|
| Please tell us why? |
Pedestrian crossing's are usually raised. Foot traffic is likely to be low as the only people likely to access the crossing are those catching the bus. I expect residents living that far away from the city will likely drive themselves rather than catch a bus. Also with several trucks using this stretch of road, having a raised pedestrian crossing means trucks will need to slow significantly as well as additional wear and tear on the crossing. Have a signal crossing instead that way it is only activated when needed which is likely not going to be often.

| Do you think any other physical changes are required to support the proposed speed limit change? |
No, however this section of road seems to struggle with staying level and often develops humps. This could be due to soil type or regular truck traffic
