Thanks for the Speed Tables, Auckland Transport!
Thank you Auckland Transport, for the new speed tables on Palmers Road and Weymouth Road.
Getting them all done together made it less of a pain and now these streets feel more like they are designed for 30kph.
Driving at 30 is very different to the way most of us were trained to drive, so it helps when the street design tells us it is OK to go slow.
Don't be a try-hard, let that engine idle in gear and cruise your neighbourhood in style. Wind a window down and enjoy.
Everyone benefits from safer roads and crossings, but especially the tamariki on their way to and from the bus stops, kindies, schools, playgrounds, reserves, dairies, community centres, library, pool and mall.
Great job AT!
