SH3 Napier Road (Palmerston North to Ashhurst) speed review
The new Land Transport Setting of Speed Limits Rule 2024 requires speed limits set since Janurary 2020 on some of the country’s roads to reverse to their previous speeds by 1 July 2025. For certain types of roads, the lower speed limits can be retained if there is community support for them to stay.
We are now consulting with the community to see if there is public support to retain the 80km/h speed limits on State Highway 3 (SH3) between Palmerston North and Ashhurst at the following 2 locations:
-
SH3 Palmerston North east to Whakarongo. East of Macpherson Grove to east of Stoney Creek Road.
-
SH3 Ashhurst. South of Cambridge Avenue to northwest of SH57.
These sections of state highway have been included in the consultation because we want to test the level of support again to see if it has changed.
You can have your say on these speed limits by completing the form on our website.

Following this consultation, we will share the outcomes and future dates for any speed limit changes going live in the Manawatū in 2025.
