Speed reductions around Western Bay schools are among proposed speed limit changes out for public feedback.
Western Bay of Plenty District Council is undertaking a partial review of its speed limits bylaw and is proposing a 40kmh variable speed limit around seven urban schools at peak opening and closing times.
Additionally, the council is looking to install permanent active warning signs at five rural schools to encourage motorists to reduce speed during peak opening and closing times.
Variable limits, set at 40kmh, are proposed around the school zones of Katikati Primary, Katikati College, Waihi Beach, Oropi, Maketu, Paengaroa and Te Puke Intermediate schools.
Active warning advisory speed signs are proposed at Rangiuru, Pongakawa, Omokoroa No 1, Whakamarama and Pukehina schools.
