Cloverlea School

Proposed changes

• Proposed permanent 30km/h on Benmore Avenue from its intersection with Gillespies Line to a point 50 metres west from its intersection with Meadowbrook Road.
• This includes the side streets coming off of it which includes Waltham Court, Cecil Place, Bendigo Street, Rosedale Crescent, Willowstream Grove, Herbert Avenue, Raglan Avenue, Geraldine Crescent, Bevan Place, Drury Street, Leslie Avenue, Hinau Place, and Rimu Place.

Reason for proposed change

This captures the zone around the school where kids are likely to be walking traveling in. The road infrastructure like raised crossings and the narrow streets support the lower speeds. We stopped the speed zone just after you are driving north around the corner on Benmore as the road environment changes to being more residential and suited for slower speeds.

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.
