| Which option do you prefer? |
Option 2: Retain the current 80km/h speed limit, do not change speed limit
|
| Please tell us why? |
Keeping the 80 km/h limit avoids the higher costs associated with installing specific, complex traffic safety equipment required. Despite the housing area, the road's current design, a dual-lane road in a semi-rural setting, is appropriate for 80 km/h. It may seem like a small change, but these small changes cumulatively affect the overall efficiency of Ngaruawahia commuters.
|
| Do you think any other physical changes are required to support the proposed speed limit change? |
Yes you would need to make it at least 2 lanes each way to maintain and increase efficiency.
