Team responses on common themes [PDF, 138 KB]
To improve safety for everyone we’re proposing to change the speed limits to 40km/h, 50km/h or 60km/h on;
Marshs Road, Shands Road, Springs Road, John Patterson Drive, Halswell Junction Road, Hodgens Road, Fountains Road, Whincops Road, Downies Road, Quaifes Road, Sabys Road, Candys Road, Kennedys Bush Road, Sutherlands Road, Cashmere Road, Hoon Hay Valley Road and Hendersons Road.
Slowing down saves lives, with a strong link between speed and safety on our roads.
We want to make Christchurch roads as safe as possible so we are reviewing speed limits across the city’s roading network where there are concerns they are not safe or appropriate.
Having speed limits set at the correct level for the conditions on specific roads is one of the most important ways we can help people get to where they need to go safely.
The Christchurch City Council's Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 allows Council to set and change speed limits on roads within Christchurch in accordance with the Speed Management guide(external link) and the Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2017(external link). Consultation is required as part of this process.
