SH1 Timaru to St Andrews safety improvements

13 September 2023

Kia ora

Since we last met with the community, we've updated our plans for safety improvements to include open intersections, stretches of highway with wide-centreline, reduced areas with median barrier compared to the original design and more opportunities for people to pull over and let others pass.

Have your say

Public consultation is now open on the updated design shown on the map below.

Our website has resources to help people give feedback including:

• A community engagement summary report - highlights of what we heard mid-year and Waka Kotahi responses.
• A project backgrounder - explaining why we're doing this work, how we consider the crash stats for this corridor and how traffic will fit this road with barriers.
• Frequently Asked Questions - find answers to common concerns including about the changes we've made to the plan. 

You'll find direct links to this information at the end of this email.

You're invited

We're holding another community drop-in session so people can pop in, see the updated design and ask questions.

• Date: Thursday 28 September
• Time: Anytime between 4:30-6:30pm 
• Location: Pareora Country Club, 30 Queen St, Pareora.

Come along and ask questions in person on what is being proposed before emailing through your feedback to t2sa@nzta.govt.nz by Sunday 8 October 2023.
