Density sparks potential speed changes

Population growth around Kaukapakapa has prompted the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) to look at options to reduce speed limits on State Highway 16.

The proposed changes would see the limit dropped from 100km to 80km north of the village, between Kanohi Road and Mosus Road. The 50km limit south of the village would be extended 150 metres to make a safer entrance and exit into Kaukapakapa School and Fire Station. Additionally, the 100km limit would be dropped to 80km from east of Opoto Road to near Henley Road.

NZTA is calling for feedback on the changes and the submission period closes on July 30.
