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

• 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.
• :. There are several roads where we have community groups and residents advocating for lower speeds. In Golden Bay, the specific roads are:
  • Goodall Road
  • Kaiteriteri-Sandy Bay Road (section)
  • Riwaka-Kaiteriteri Road (section)
  • Sandy Bay- Marahau Road (section)
  • Alexander Bluff Road Bridge
