| Which option do you prefer? |
Option 1: Reduce the speed limit from 80km/h to 60km/h
|
| Please tell us why? |
people should be able to use the road safely to get to and from their homes. they should also be able to cross the road more safely than 80km/h allows.
|
| Do you think any other physical changes are required to support the proposed speed limit change? |
I personally think an underpass would be good instead of a signalised crossing, especially by our main roads like what we have along wairere drive at those roundabouts with hukanui road and gordonton road and the intersection with river road etc. I think crossings so close to roundabouts are dangerous and underpasses are more easily used by pedestrians and cyclists. i'd bike here more if it was safer and if i had friends and family in te awa lakes i'd want them to be safe getting to and from home.
|
| How do you travel through the area? |
Drive, just want to say i'd bike if it was safe and there were underpasses. if i live in te awa lakes i'd like to be able to bike to town/shops.
|
| 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? |
