The roads where speed limits will be changed from 1 April 2021 are based on those identified by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency as being in the top 10% that would benefit from speed management.
Others were identified through the submissions process or where there has been a change of land use and an expansion of land development.
This is an interim measure until new legislation expected later this year comes in that will allow a regionwide approach to review speed limits to take place. The Land Transport (NZTA) Legislation Amendment Bill, which is currently going through Parliament, includes aspects of speed management.
As a result of the Marlborough District Council Speed Bylaw 2020 review, the following speed limit changes will take effect from 1 April 2021:
