Subject: Official Information request - Additional 50kmh signs in Findlay
Street, National Park Waimarino

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

Residents of National Park Waimarino have advised the council of issues
displaying the 50kmh speed limit along Findlay Street in the village. This
relates to the placement of the 50kmh sign close to the intersection of
SH4 and Findlay Street which can not easily been seen by vehicles turning
left off SH4. There is also no signage at the other end of Findlay St to
remind visitor traffic of the 50kmh speed limit as it departs the
Park'n'Ride.

 

As a result, traffic often exceeds the 50kmh speed limit creating a hazard
for other road users and pedestrians.

 

Residents have requested that the sign on Findlay St neat SH4 be moved or
duplicated slightly along Findlay St so that it is visible to drivers once
they have completed their turn off SH4; and additional 50kmh signage at
the other end of Findlay St to remind drivers from that end of the 50kmh
speed limit.

 

Ruapehu District Council has stated that Waka Kotahi regulations relating
to the placement of speed limit signage prevent it relocating or
duplicating the 50kmh sign at the SH4 end of Findlay St, or placing 50kmh
signage at the other end of Findlay St by the Park'n'Ride.

 

Please provide details of correspondence relating to this issue between
Ruapehu District Council and Waka Kotahi; and details of the regulatory
obstacles to placing further 50kmh signs along Findlay St.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Simon O'Neill

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) in relation to signs on Findlay Street, National Park.

 

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) has searched for any information we
hold in relation to the 50km/h signage on Findlay Street and can confirm
that we do not hold anything in scope of your request.

 

As your request is more closely related to the functions of the Ruapehu
District Council (the Council) we have discussed transferring your request
to the Council as required under section 14 of the Act. The Council has
advised that they have received the same request from you and will be
responding directly. I am therefore notifying you that I am formally
closing this request as NZTA does not hold any information in scope of
your request.
