Third Far North speed limit review begins
Council is seeking public feedback on proposed speed limit changes for 301 district roads covering an area from Whangaroa Harbour to the north and Kawakawa to the south.
The review includes district roads in Kerikeri, Ōpua, Paihia, Waitangi and Haruru. The six-week consultation closes on 5 December. This is the third review of
Far North speed limits with each area selected because roads have high crash rates or are in high growth areas. Roads outside these priority areas will be included in a Northland-wide speed limit review due to commence in 2024.
The council’s 'Have your say' consultations webpage has a full list of roads under review, as well as maps of the review areas. You can make a submission on the proposed changes online or pick up the full proposal from council service centres at Paihia, Kerikeri or Kāeo. Three public drop-in sessions have been planned to discuss the speed limit review. One has been held at Kerikeri. Two more are planned at Paihia Memorial Hall on Thursday 17 November 4pm - 6pm, at Whangaroa Village Hall on Wednesday 23 November - 6pm. Council and Northland Transportation Allian staff will be on hand during the sessions to answer que ons on the proposed changes and to assist with subm ns.
