On a stretch of road at Dairy Stream Bridge by Greens Rd on Dairy Flat Highway (SH17) there has been a "temporary" 70km/h limit for months if not years. Why is it there? And what is planned for it? Don Donovan, Albany.
The Transport Agency says that the temporary speed limit was introduced for safety reasons. This section of SH17 has an uneven surface due to ground movement, which has been active for many years. The unevenness is a problem for heavy vehicles with stiffer suspension. The NZTA says the most effective way to manage the problem is to level out the surface of the highway. The next round of levelling is expected shortly, after which the speed limit can be removed.
