Eastern Bays Speed Review and Pedestrian Crossings Survey

As part of the consent conditions under the Tupua Horo Nuku Eastern Bays shared path project, Hutt City Council is required to undertake a speed and safety review on Marine Drive. 

Further to this the Government’s road safety strategy, 'Road to Zero – Te Ara Ki Ti Ora’, which aims to reduce deaths and serious injuries on New Zealand roads to Zero, also requires all councils to conduct a speed review programme. The Eastern Bays has been identified as a priority for speed management due to safety concerns.

The review has been completed and Hutt City Council is now consulting to make sure we have all the information needed to make a final decision on the speed limit change and pedestrian crossings.
