Residents of Pickwick Rd, a small side road off State Highway 3 near Whanganui, were shocked to find 100km/h signs erected near its entrance just before Christmas. New reduced speed limits along SH3 at Westmere came into effect on December 18, with the Pickwick Rd turn-off within the highway s new 80km/h zone.
