We are consulting on proposals to lower speed limits for a number of local roads in Golden Bay:

• Narrow or winding tortuous unsealed roads reduced to 60km/h. These are rural unsealed roads that are winding and/or narrow, generally the alignment of these roads is classed as tortuous.
• Rural residential roads and peri-urban streets reduced to 50 or 60km/h. These roads provide access to residential properties, but at a lower density than urban residential areas.
• Urban roads which do not have footpaths reduced to 40km/h. These are roads in residential areas that do not have footpaths.
• Specific roads. There are several roads where we have community groups and residents advocating for lower speeds. In Golden Bay, the specific roads are:
  • Abel Tasman Drive (sections)
  • Collingwood Quay
  • Collingwood Bainham Road (section)
  • Collingwood-Puponga Main Road (Pakawau)
  • Dry Road (section) and associated side roads
  • East Tākaka Road (section)
  • Glenview Road
  • Long Plain Road and associated side roads
  • Hill View Road
  • McCallum Road
  • Milnthorpe Road
  • Packard Road
  • Rameka Creek Road
