30km/hr Speed Reduction in Richmond–Safe Speed Neighbourhoods

Oct 11, 2023 | Active Richmond, Educate Richmond, Healthy Richmond, Heritage Richmond, Roading in Richmond, RR&BA

Wondering why the speed limit changed to 30km per hour only in the northern part of Richmond?

We’ve checked in for you…The Richmond North area was delivered through the CRAF (Christchurch Regeneration Acceleration Facility) programme.

The Richmond South area will be delivered in the future as part of the wider Safe Speed Neighbourhood rollout. So it will still be implemented in the future, but its delivery is on a different timeframe.
