Submissions on two CCC consultations affecting cyclists were due to close on 20/7/21:
– Lower Cashmere area speed review – https://ccc.govt.nz/the-council/consultations-and-submissions/haveyoursay/show/421
– Hoon Hay area speed review – https://ccc.govt.nz/the-council/consultations-and-submissions/haveyoursay/show/422
The science is very clear – lower speeds lead to less injuries and fatalities.
Spokes supports the adoption of a 30kph limit everywhere in suburban streets, such as this Hoon Hay area (Lower Cashmere area).
Spokes questions why some areas are 30kph and some 40kph eg Sumner.
