Rangiora Woodend Road Speed Limits: Time for Change?
Chris Bucknell — May 10, 2018
Making sure our roads are safe to travel on for both our local communities and visitors to our district is a high priority for Council. As areas develop the nature and use of some of our roads change. Rangiora Woodend Road is one of those roads which has seen an increase in traffic volumes over the last five years.
The roads feedback is sought on are:
- Rangiora Woodend Road between the existing 80km/h sign east of Smarts Road to the 70km/h sign at Chinnerys Road – current speed limit 100km/h
- Rangiora Woodend Road from Chinnerys Road to School Road – current speed limit 70km/h
- Gressons Road - current speed limit 100km/h
- Boys Road from the railway line to Rangiora Woodend Road– current speed limit 100km/h
- Northbrook Road east of Goodwin Street to Boys Road – current speed limit 100km/h
Staff will be at the following locations next week to talk to the community about the speed limits:
- Woodend Community Centre, 7 May 2018, 3pm-7pm
- PAK’n SAVE, Rangiora, 9 May 2018, 11am-2pm
