Carterton District Council is proposing to make changes to speed limits on some roads around the district.
We want everyone to be safe when using our streets and roads. That means we need the right speeds on the right roads for all road users, whether you are walking to the shops, biking to school, driving to work, or visiting the region.
But wait, haven’t we already done this?
Yes, in 2023, we joined with South Wairarapa District Council to consult on several speed changes across our district’s roading network.
The introduction of the 2024 Land Transport Rule required the reversal of these proposed changes and stopped the implementation process.
So, in preparing for this consultation, we took the feedback provided in 2023 and incorporated it into our current Draft Speed Management Plan.
We’re now asking you for feedback on this so we can comply with the 2024 Land Transport Rule and apply these updated speed limits throughout our district.
Please take a few moments to review our 2025 Draft Speed Management Plan and provide feedback on proposed speed limit changes at www.cdc.govt.nz/speed
