Thanks to everyone who submitted feedback on this project

We received a total of 313 submissions about speed limits surrounding One New Zealand Stadium at Te Kaha, from 15 organisations and 298 individuals.

What you told us

Most submitters were supportive of the proposed speed limits:

• 68% of submitters were in support of a speed limit of 40km/h on Duke Street (Tuam to Lichfield)
• 65% of submitters were in support of a speed limit of 40km/h on Lichfield Street (Barbadoes to Fitzgerald)
• 64% of submitters were in support of a speed limit of 40km/h on Hereford Street (across Latimer Square)
• 64% of submitters were in support of a speed limit of 40km/h on Tuam Street (Madras to Fitzgerald)
• 62% of submitters were in support of a speed limit of 40km/h on St Asaph Street (Madras to Ferry)
• 61% of submitters were in support of a speed limit of 40km/h on Madras Street (Moorhouse to Hereford)

• 66% of submitters were in support of a speed limit of 10km/h on Lichfield Street (Manchester to Madras)

The key reasons given by submitters for supporting the proposed speed limit were:

• Lower speed limits improve safety (56)
• Lower speed limits would increase the amenity value of the area around the stadium (20)
• There is a lot of foot traffic in the area (19).

The key reasons given by submitters for opposing the proposed speed limits were:

• Lower speed limits should only be in place when events are on at the stadium (39)
• Madras Street (20) and Barbadoes Street (19) are main arterial routes through the city
• Lower speed limits would restrict the flow of traffic (17)
• Events at the stadium will be infrequent (17)
• Congestion naturally slows traffic so lower speed limits are not needed (14).
