Following public and stakeholder consultation, Waka
Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has set a new permanent speed
limit for the short section of State Highway 1 (SH1) from
Templeton to Dawsons Road just south of
Christchurch.
From Wednesday 3 March, the new
permanent speed limit will reduce from 100km/h to 80km/h on
both the northbound and southbound lanes of SH1 near Trents
Road to the Christchurch Southern Motorway on and off
ramps .
With construction of the Christchurch Southern
Motorway stage 2 project nearly complete and the new Dawsons
Road roundabout fully functioning, the safer speed limit of
80km/h is a logical fit for the new road layout, says Waka
