With spring already here and summer just around the corner, you will see a lot more activity as the paving season gets underway. We will be completing the Old Hautere Road tie-ins, laying pavement in the Rāhui Road area and carrying out Expressway pavement trials.
The warmer weather will also see an increase in the number of people and cars on the road as they come to make the most of Ōtaki’s beaches, climate and all the other delights the area offers. As such, road safety becomes a priority and we will be working to increase awareness, especially of speed limits around construction works.
We understand how frustrating it is for the community when major works are being undertaken in their backyard and how intimidating it can be while dealing with that and having to navigate through speeding traffic.
For our workers, the frustration and apprehension is just as real. We want everyone to have a happy Christmas and joyous summer and for that purpose our staff are sending out a reminder for everyone to obey the speed limit. There are very good reasons for lowering speeds and they all have to do with safety and for everyone to get where they’re going more efficiently.
At PP2Ō, workers have used their own words to remind everyone why people should obey the road rules as you can see in the video below.
It’s the same message we’ll be sending out widely for those people who pass through the Peka Peka to Ōtaki Expressway to remind them that the local community is putting up with a lot of inconvenience to make their journey safer and more convenient. These people owe the local community consideration.
Drive safely.
