  • Proposed permanent 30km/h on Thames Street and neighbouring streets.
  • Proposed permanent 30km/h speed on Freyberg Street and 30km/h VSL to replace the existing 40km/h VSL on the stretch of Featherston Street outside Freyberg Street.
  • Proposed permanent 30km/h on Thames Street, Tyne Street, Humber Street, Esk Street, and Tweed Street on the northeast side of the school.

Reason for proposed change

Image shows injury and crash numbers around Ross Intermediate and Freyberg High Schools in the past 10 years

We have included the streets around the school entrances. Streets to the Northeast like Thames Street, Tyne Street, Humber Street, and Esk Street are included due to the access to Freyberg Community Pool, the schools and Edwards Pitt Park. Tweed was included because of the entrance to Edwards Pitt Park that is on it.

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.
