Central Normal/Queen Elizabeth College/Palmerston North Boys' Cluster

Proposed changes

• Proposed 30km/h VSL on Featherston Street in front of Central Normal School and Palmerston North Boys' School for a distance of 1km.
• Proposed 30km/h VSL on Rangitikei Street to cover the frontage of Queen Elizabeth College from the intersection with Featherston Street to a distance 25 metres north of Guy Avenue. 
• Proposed permanent 30km/h on Havill Street, Aroha Street, Argyle Avenue, Amandale Avenue, Beresford Street, Wellesbourne Street, Ivanhoe Terrace, Edgeware Road, and North Street.

Reason for proposed change

To avoid inconsistent stretches of VSL's outside Central Normal School (existing 40km/h VSL), Palmerston North Boys' School (existing 40km/h VSL), and Queen Elizabeth College (new), it is proposed to have a consistent 30km/h VSL zone between all three, making it more clear for vehicles driving through this area.

Covers the immediate streets around the school where there will be a high volume of pedestrians and pick-up/drop-off area. The average speed that people are travelling on these two roads is already less than 30km/h.
