Considering safer speed limits

In September 2020 Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency formally consulted on a proposal to reduce the permanent speed limit between Paines Ford and Tākaka to 80km/h. 

Ensuring our roads have safe and appropriate speed limits to help prevent people being killed or seriously injured is very important to Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.

We thank everyone who took the time to make a submission.

You can read more about the proposal by visiting our project page.

The decision-making process

Changing speed limits is a legal process and all speed reviews undertaken by Waka Kotahi are developed and delivered in line with the Speed Management Guide and the Setting of Speed Limits Rule.

There are numerous steps we need to follow once we have analysed submissions, and considered them alongside a technical assessment of the road.

We are currently completing the necessary steps and documentation to make a decision on this speed review. 

Once a decision has been made, it will be published on our website and shared with the community and stakeholders.

At that time we will also advise when any changes to the speed limit(s) will come into effect.
