Safer Speed Areas:
Hamilton City Council is examining speed limits in eight areas of the city as part of the first stage of a national road safety initiative aimed at making urban streets safer.
The national Safer Journeys demonstration project aims to reduce the number and
severity of crashes occurring on urban roads by establishing ‘Safer Speed –
residential areas in which vehicles travel at appropriate speeds rather than a universal 50 kph.
Hamilton City Council is amongst the first councils looking to establish Safer Speed Areas as part of the national demonstration initiative. If successful, more Safer Speed Areas will be introduced within Hamilton, as well as in other communities throughout the country.
The eight areas selected by Council for Safer Speed Areas are Barrington, McNicol, Ngaere, Willoughby, Lethborg, Heath, Howell and Tamihana. These areas predominately back onto schools and serve a range of purposes in addition to a transport function – such as places where people exercise, walk their dogs or go to the shops.
More information - visit the Safer Speed Areas website.
Tell us what you think - visit the Safer Speed Areas website to register your interest in having a safer speed area implemented in your neighbourhood.
