A local resident is campaigning for the speed limit to be decreased on Waimarama Rd in an attempt to make is safer for children.
Craig Roberts launched a petition pleading to Hastings District Council for the speed limit on Waimarama Rd to be reduced from 100km/h to 50km/h in the stretch before the local school.
"The road between the Waimarama village and Waimarama School is very dangerous for the local tamariki," he said.
Roberts is also calling for the addition of a pedestrian bridge across the Pouhokio River for safe access in and out of the village - and more maintenance of the limestone paths.
"Our tamariki must cross the narrow road bridge to get to school. This bridge is just wide enough for two cars and the view across the bridge is partly obstructed, as it is on a blind corner."
