Safe Speed Limits around Schools

A 30km/h speed limit change is happening on roads around our school on 21st July 2022.

The purpose of a safe speed limit:

• Setting safe and appropriate speed limits outside and surrounding schools improves children’s safety. If parents believe their children are safe on the way to school, they will allow them to walk and cycle to school more often.

• The internationally accepted speed to greatly reduce the chances of a person being killed or seriously injured is 30km/h.

• Slow and safe speeds deliver many benefits to Auckland communities including: healthier environments, thriving town centres, safe streets for walking and biking, improved air quality, and lower carbon emissions.
