Hi Lou

 

I just need to clarify some parts of the request.

 

The Tasman District Council is responsible for the Moutere Highway so we
can only provide information relating to Traffic Management Orders 
covering the Temporary Speed Limit in the area of  the Moutere Highway.
You will need to apply separately  to the New Zealand Transport Agency
(NZTA) for information relating to the Appleby Highway.

 

Is it just the Moutere Highway you are after this information for?

 

Do you have a date range for this request?

 

Kind regards

Megan Bell

Further to your request for information, please find below our response:

 

The temporary 80km/hr speed limit was put in place in October 2014.  This
was initiated by NZTA for the section on the State Highway and extended to
cover Cottrell Road and the section on the Moutere Highway.

 

The 80km/hr speed limit was made permanent on the Moutere Highway section
and Cottrell Road during the by law review which came into effect on 1
April 2016.

 

Please confirm that you are satisfied with this response or, if there is
any additional information required, please clarify.

 

Kind regards,

Further to your request, please find below our response:

 

In response to a recommendation by NZTA to reduce the speed limit on the
State Highway, Tasman District Council approved a Traffic Management Plan
for the positioning of signage to support a temporary 80km/hr speed limit
on adjacent parts of the Moutere Highway and Cottrell Road.  This was put
in place on 3 October 2014 and ran until 4 October 2015.

 

This was then renewed and extended from 28 September 2015 to 28 March 2016
and renewed from 1 April 2016 until 1 April 2017.

 

After a public consultation process Council adopted changes to the Speed
Limit Bylaw on 18 February 2016 and changes came into effect on 1 April
2016 – one of these changes was making the 80km/hr temporary limit a
permanent speed limit for the relevant sections of the Moutere Highway and
Cotterell Road.

 

There is no information held regarding ‘Traffic Management Orders’. 

 

You have a right to complain to an Ombudsman if you do not believe you
have been given a reasonable response to your  request.  This right to
complain is dealt with in section 27 of the Local  Government Official
Information and Meetings Act.

 

Kind regards,
