Let’s Get Wellington Moving is asking people to have their say on proposed safer speed limits on State Highway 1 and a new walking and cycling crossing on Cobham Drive.
The projects support Let’s Get Wellington Moving’s objectives of improving safety for everyone using our city’s roads, streets and paths, and reducing reliance on private vehicles. Formal consultation on proposed new speed limits, of 50km/h on Ruahine Street and 60km/h on Cobham Drive and Calabar Road, starts on Wednesday.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Director of Regional Relationships Emma Speight says safer speed limits are a proven tool that will help save lives.

A new completion timeframe has been announced for the Petone to Melling cycleway, the northern section of Te Ara Tupua which is under construction. Director of Regional Relationships Emma Speight says the project, which was scheduled for completion later this year, is now expected to be finished in early 2023.
“We are working hard to provide this safer cycling option as soon as possible, but a number of factors have contributed to the project taking longer than expected,” says Ms Speight.
Most of the cycleway is being built between State Highway 2 and a busy rail line. Working safely between the road and rail line requires extra precautions, and work is often carried out at night or on weekends, to avoid peak traffic and train schedules. This helps ensure crews stay safe on site and disruption to commuters is kept to a minimum.
