| Which option do you prefer? |
Option 2: Retain the current 80km/h speed limit, do not change speed limit
|
| Please tell us why? |
This is a major arterial route for access in and out of Hamilton North. There's too many of our city's roads where the speed limit is being reduced due to a lack of forward thinking by council. It was a crazy decision to install a pedestrian crossing on this stretch of road, and I can't believe it's been signed off and apparently non-negotiable. If there's a need for pedestrians to cross this road it should be via an underpass or over-bridge.
|
| Do you think any other physical changes are required to support the proposed speed limit change? |
Not to support the speed reduction. An underpass or over-bridge for pedestrians / cyclists so the speed reduction can be avoided.
