Variable speed limits implemented outside schools
20 Aug 2025, 3:38 PM
New variable speed limits are now in place outside 14 schools across the Waitomo District. This work was undertaken as part of the legislation set by Central Government in October 2024.
These changes mean the existing speed limits outside schools are reduced over the AM / PM periods. We ask that you please follow the new variable speed limits to create a safer environment for our children / tamariki.
The periods for the reduced speed limit zones are displayed on static signs or indicated by ‘light up’ electronic display speed signs. A table is attached below showing the specific variable speed limit reductions and the periods they are active.
