Police remind the public of the new speed limit on Alexander Road
Police have shared that speeding on Alexander Road continues to be a major concern for Police and the local community.
What you need to know:
- Despite the speed limit of 50 km/h being introduced in December last year, many motorists are still being stopped by Police for exceeding the limit.
- “Police are urging Upper Hutt locals to be mindful of the new speed limit on Alexander Road and Messines Avenue. This stretch of road is now part of a family-orientated area, with the ongoing residential development in Wallaceville Estate,” Road Policing Office Jessica Peyerl says.
- In addition to the road safety education provided by Police in the recent months, Upper Hutt City Council is also planning on installing electronic speed signs along this road in a few weeks.
“We want to keep drivers and residents safe, and we are supporting Police to make drivers aware of this speed limit change,” says Upper Hutt City Council CE Geoff Swainson.
“The new signs will be highly visible, and we hope drivers adhere to the new speed limit.”
Police are urging the public to adhere to the speed limit of 50 km/h on Alexander Road and will continue to monitor driver behaviour in the area.

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
