New speed limit at school

NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) has set a new variable speed limit outside Kaukapakapa School to improve safety for children arriving at or leaving school. 

NZTA director of regional relationships Steve Mutton says a variable speed limit will lower the speed limit from 50 km/h to 40km/h during peak school traffic times, effective from August 24, 2020.

The new variable speed zone will be about 350m long with two electronic signs on the road outside the school displaying the reduced speed limit.
