We are consulting on proposals to lower speed limits for a number of local roads in the Moutere Waimea ward:

• 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 Moutere Waimea, the specific roads are:
  • Baigent Reserve Access
  • Baton Valley Road
  • Church Valley Road
  • Eighty-eight Valley Road
  • Irvine Road
  • Garden Valley Road
  • Lee Valley Road
  • Lloyd Valley Road
  • Mapua Causeway
  • Mead Road
  • Motueka River West Bank (section)
  • Seaton Valley Road
  • Sharp Road
  • Wairoa Gorge Road
  • Woodstock Road
