West Lynn welcomes safer speed zone
A new permanent 30km/h speed limit came into effect for West Lynn on 30 June 2021 as part of changes to make it a safer place to shop, study, live and work.
The busy stretch of Richmond Road is one of 600 roads that had its speed reduced last month as part of roll out of AT’s Safe Speeds programme, which was approved by the Board of Auckland Transport in October 2019.
Read more about the changes on AT’s website.
Elsewhere, there’s change on the horizon as Council drops Plan Change 26
