| Which option do you prefer? |
Option 1: Reduce the speed limit from 80km/h to 60km/h
|
| Please tell us why? |
I believe the reading leading up to the round abouts at both ends of the round about series should be at 60km/h. The roading design with the high overgrown round abouts make vision more challanging and some vehicles do take the round abouts at speed at times... when wet. The safer speed could be restricted to 60km/h anyway. I believe it shall be a fraction longer traveling time, but much safer for all users in the long run.

| Do you think any other physical changes are required to support the proposed speed limit change? |
Yes, as above, the overgrown round abouts make vision difficult to see on coming traffic as some cars etc go around them at some speed.. I have witnessed some near misses... it is a good exchange set up for accessing the ramps but could be better served with 60 km/h limit through out that series of round abouts...
