Christchurch’s proposed Safe Speed Neighbourhood programme has been updated, reflecting community feedback received by the Council so far. “While monitoring community feedback we noticed some patterns of communities that wanted further reductions in their speeds, and others that wanted to be included,” Transport Operations Manager Stephen Wright says. A 30km/h variable speed limit during school start & finish times on Northcote Road is one of the changes. The consultation period has been extended to 3 January 2023. For more information and a link to the detailed interactive map of the proposal, head to: https://newsline.ccc.govt.nz/news/story/speed-limit-plan-changed-to-reflect-public-opinion
