  • Proposed replacement of existing 40km/h VSL to 30km/h VSL on College Street outside school frontage for stretch of 430 metres.
  • Proposed permanent 30km/h on South Street, Linton Street, and Chaytor Street.

Reason for proposed change

Image shows injury and crash numbers around Palmerston Intermediate School in the past 10 years

30km/h VSL on Ferguson/Pitt and College Street to include the zebra crossing on Ferguson Street. The permanent 30km/h speeds cover the side streets that have direct access to the school.

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.
