SPEED LIMIT
CHANGES IN DISTRICT
Taupo District Council has now adopted the
changes to speed zones in the Taupo District in accordance with the Speed Limit
Bylaw 2006.
To Road Cyclists this is good news. Some of the main areas that might make
training rides safer include: |
- Mapara Road from Wakeman Road to Hillview Drive (down the hill past Caf�
L�Arte) will change from 100km/h to 80km/h
- Kinloch Road from Whangamata Road to 50m north of Tohe Cul will change from
100km/h to 70km/h
- Acacia Bay Road from Brentwood Avenue to 80m south of Jarden Mile changes from 100km/h
and 70 km/h to only 70km/h
But the BEST NEWS is that after some serious
strong advocating from Bike Taupo, the whole of Huka Falls Road (from SH1 north to SH1 south) will change from 100km/h to 80km/h!! We all know how dangerous this stretch of
road can be for mountain bikers, roadies and pedestrians, when cars hurtle down
there at 100km/h but no longer!
These speed changes are effective from 2 October 2006. |
