North Canterbury pupils join fight to reduce speed limit outside their school
Year 7 and 8 pupils at Swannanoa School worked with Lucinda Rees, the founder of advocacy group NZ School Speeds, to use the Speed Clock app to record the speed of vehicles passing the school on Tram Rd last Thursday afternoon.
It comes after Transport Minister Michael Wood last month announced the Government's proposal to drop speed limits to 30 kmh outside urban schools and a maximum of 60 kmh outside rural schools.
Rees said many Swannanoa pupils were “horrified” to hear the speed limit was so high around their school and that any potential changes may not happen until 2029.
Submissions on the proposed changes can be made online at www.nzta.govt.nz... or by emailing rules@nzta.govt.nz until June 25.

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!
