Speed limits reduced on some local roads The speed limit has been reduced on local Tasman roads this week when a new speed limit came into force on State Highway 60 (SH60) between McShane Rd and Maisey Rd. The Tasman District Council (TDC) approved reduced speed

limits for several roads that intersect with the crash-prone section. Mayor Richard Kempthorne says “This will make our roads safer. There was high support for reducing speeds on SH60 and connecting roads from those who took part in the public consulta-

tion earlier this year.” Richard says many submitters also supported improvements to road layout along the route. The local roads and their new speed limits are: • Lower Queen St - 80kmh (down from 100kmh)

• Lansdowne Rd – 80kmh (from 100kmh) • Best Island Rd – 80kmh (from 100kmh) • Barnett Ave – 60kmh (from 100kmh) • Blackbyre Rd – 80kmh (from 100kmh)

• River Rd, Appleby – 60kmh (from 100kmh) • Redwood Rd – 80kmh (from 100kmh) • Research Orchard Rd – 80kmh (from 100kmh) • Pukeko Lane – 80kmh (from 100kmh)
