Right then.

Laser and radar jammer time.

**DemonWolf** · 22nd June 2006, 11:09

how did the council get that voted in?

**Karma** · 22nd June 2006, 11:09

So how many people have died on Rodney roads recently? Fuck all from what I'm aware of.

All about the safety of course...

**BuFfY** · 22nd June 2006, 11:10

That is just silly! Everyone is conditioned to go those speeds so they will continue to do so.

Just a question, does anyone know when they newly expanded part of Whangaparaoa Road is going to have its speed limit changed? Because noone ever goes 50 along there, it should be atleast a 60

Another case of Only in New Zealand. Why don't we just pay refugees to walk in front of us with kerosine lanterns?

**Macktheknife** · 22nd June 2006, 11:16

The dirty bastards, some of the best roads in the area are in that list!

Well, this got me thinking.. so I've shot off a email to New Plymouth District Council.. asking/requesting info concerning if there are any 'plans' for Road Speed Limit changes... will be interesting if I get a reply.

**DemonWolf** · 22nd June 2006, 11:25

Surely there's a directive ('edict') coming from Government to local councils to change Road speed limits??

**Devil** · 22nd June 2006, 11:25

Well that sucks.

**Motu** · 22nd June 2006, 11:33

Perhaps a response to an increase of motorcycles in using the area for high speed use??

Silly girl. Everyone knows that when a road is upgraded, widened, and straightened - the speed limit goes DOWN.
East coast road and Upper Harbour drive are both fine examples. Former was 80ks down to 50, the latter was 100ks down to 70.

Also, what else is located on those roads... tax cameras (surprise, surprise...)
