Slower speeds = Safer streets

Safer speeds around schools are coming, with new variable speed limits — here’s what you need to know:

🚸 New 30km/h variable speed zones will be in place near school entrances to help keep tamariki safe during peak times.
🚸 These apply on weekdays during the school term at drop-off and pick-up times: 8:00am–9:00am and 2:45pm–3:45pm.
🚸 New signs will be installed from May at local schools (pictured below). The limits are enforceable when operating.
🚸 Required under the Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2024.

Let’s look out for each other and keep our communities safe 💛
