| Which option do you prefer? |
Option 2: Retain the current 80km/h speed limit, do not change speed limit
|
| Please tell us why? |
I travel on this section daily after heading off SH 1C heading to Te Rapa, I believe reducing the speed will create additional congestion as this is a busy road and will make the roundabout at 1C more difficult and hazardous to exit from.
I appreciate the crossing will not change but more information should be provided why there is a pedestrian crossing. Is it for School buses to Horotiu? If so it would make sense for pick up to be in Hutchinson Road. I don't understand why pedestrians or cyclists would want to access an area between a State Highway and Petrol station. I would assume cyclists would prefer to use the Te Awa River Ride. |
