What are your thoughts on 30km/h limit in city centre?
Auckland Transport announced its plan to introduce a new speed limit that would cover an area bounded by the central city motorways. The proposal came in a bid to make the streets safer for growing numbers of pedestrians, cyclists and residents.
Town centre roads like Broadway in Newmarket and Tamaki Dr in Mission Bay and St Heliers will have their speed limit reduced to 30km/h or 40km/h.
Peter Carruthers said some parts such as lower Queens Street and Quay Street around the ferry terminal should have the reduced limit, but it should not be broadly applied across the whole CBD area. "Not Fanshaw, Hobson and Nelson St which are major arteries in and out of the city." Town centre roads like Broadway in Newmarket and Tamaki Drive in Mission Bay and St Heliers will have their speed limit reduced to 30km/h or 40km/h.

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!
