MACKENZIE DISTRICT SPEED LIMIT BYLAW 2005 REVIEW, INCLUDING GHANGES
Summary of Information
In 2005 new legislation transferred the responsibility for managing local road speed limits from Central Government to Local Government. The Mackenzie District Council created a new bylaw that set speed limits on Council controlled roads and streets. The review confirmed the suitability of the existing speed limits with some minor changes in Twizel.
In summary, the proposed speed limits are:
ALBURY
Speed limits are unchanged.
FAIRLIE
FAIRLIE
Speed limits are unchanged.
KIMBELL
Speed limits are unchanged.
LAKE TEKAPO
Speed limits are unchanged.
TWIZEL
Generally central township streets will remain unchanged at 50km/hr however the area around Market Place including part of Tasman Rd and Two Thumb Drive will be reduced to 30 km/hr. Lake Front Road and Kate Cameron Drive (being the roads around the rowing complex on Lake Ruataniwha) have been reduced to 20km.
The “Urban Traffic Area Boundary” has been extended out to cover the new subdivision known as Tussock Bend.
RURAL AREA
All roads will be unrestricted (100km/hr) unless otherwise specified.
NOTE:
The Urban Traffic Areas in the three townships have remained unchanged and will ensure 50km/hr limits apply to any future sub-divisions.
A Statement of Proposal for the changes to the Speed Limit Bylaw and a draft of the changes to the Bylaw are available from Council offices in Fairlie and Twizel. Public submissions are invited on those changes and these close on 24 November 2009 at 4.00pm at the Council Office in Fairlie. The Council will hear and consider all submissions at its meeting on 1 December 2009
