Paekakariki Hill Warning

[Sketchy Snr]

A good part of the hill is now 60 km so take care it's going to be easy to be well over this in parts. It is mainly the Southern side to well past Battle Hill.

[MrKiwi]

this is so sad (60km/hr) for both cars and bikes!

When did that happen
Was possibly doing a little bit more than that last night. I didn't see any 60 signs

especially when the cyclists start overtaking them on the downhills

60k is just silly.

There's a dopey looking fuck in a uniform in Kapiti. Bounces along on his toes with his hat pulled down pushing his ears out.
Jeesus, what a fine specimin. Told me my warrant had run out, I suggested he read it again, it wasn't.
Since found out he's a known drongo.Lycra would suit him.

60 ks ??!! that'll work.

Thats a good description of quite a few I know. May have to encourage as many 'drongos' as we can to partake in a lycra. Then it would be 'let the games begin' Maybe called the 'Pie/cock drongo run'

Went through Sunday morning. Few 60 signs from battle hill south but everything much the same. What a beaut morning it was too, can't say it has altered the way I travel.
Pick your time of day and keep your eyes open, you'll be fine.

been discussed already. This is the result of no-one giving a s...t. You've been shafted.......again. Common sense gone out the window. Bring on the camper vans. The 60km/hr limit signs will go from Pauatahanui right to close to the summit (PCC boundary). Dumb, dumb, dumb.

[Paul in NZ]

I think people give a shit and many made submissions but that does not mean you will be listened to. This decision was made long ago - time since then has just been 'process'....

[la buona]

Yep, the outcome was predetermined and I don't know how many made submissions. The rationale (to reduce the speed limit) was shonky in my view from the outset. A limit of 70-80km/hr was pretty reasonable for this stretch taking into account road conditions, corner speed advisory signage etc etc.. Don't forget it had already been dropped from 100km/hr a few years back.

But a lot of people are going to get a wake up call once it is policed: and believe me it will be policed heavily after an initial grace period.



60km/hr: Its Not A Target!

[Paul in NZ]

Given the traffic it carries, the increase in urban ruralites and the accident rate it was a no brainer.... I should be able to tear over there flat out on the AC50 soon... CHOICE!
