Speed limit on Ngaruawahia Road - sand quarry area
On behalf of Te Kowhai locals, I recently approached the Road Safety Team at the Council to apply for the stretch of road at the new sand quarry be temporarily changed from a 100km zone to an 80km zone.
Following my meeting with the Road Safety Manager, Nathan Hancock, the request was turned down. The reasons being that the sand quarry does not fit the criteria for a temporary speed limit restriction.
I've attached the guidance paper on temporary speed limits for information, in case anyone is interested in reading it.
It's important to remember that the sand quarry is subject to an Environment Cour Resource Consent. Within that consent are conditions related to traffic which include a daily maximum number of vehicles that are permitted to enter/exit the site. The consent also requests signage and communication from the owners to cartage companies, asking their vehicles to circumnavigate the school if possible.
The Waikato District Ccountil Monitoring Team are overseeing the operation to ensure that all Resource Consent conditions are adhered to.
So, in a nutshell, the speed limit at the quarry site of Ngaruawahia Road will remain as it is at 100km/hr.
Walking path & not one facility I could find to give a dog a drink of water.
Council. I would like to suggest that a dog drinking post or two be erected, with a metal bowl below and a self stopping tap to top it up, to give fresh water to thirsty dogs who accompany their owners on this pathway. Perhaps a water fountain at the top for the owner as well. Thank you.
