Speed limits changing on Yaldhurst roads
Speed limits on some roads in Yaldhurst will be lowered at the beginning of December according to Christchurch City Council.
Slower speed limits are proposed for State Highway 73 extending west through the Yaldhurst township. The existing speed limits were 80km/h and 100km/h, with 70km/h through Yaldhurst town centre.
A limit of 60km/h is proposed for the urban fringe and Yaldhurst town centre with a reduction to 80km/h for the west of Yaldhurst, while the intervening rural section east of Yaldhurst is to remain at 80km/h.
Changes were also made for Ryans, Pound, Hasketts and School roads.
The speed limits for these roads are being reduced from 70km/h or 80km/h to 60km/h. Sections of Ryans, Hasketts and School roads have already been changed. Remaining changes on Ryans and Pound roads will be coordinated with changes to SH73.
