The proposed speed limits also include lowering a section of Cardrona Valley Rd outside the Cardrona Skifield access road intersection from 80kmh to 60kmh. A Wanaka Golf Club spokeswoman said they advocated for lower speed limits on Ballantyne Rd before the new crossing and traffic lights were put in place. Council strategic asset manager Alison Tomlinson said the council was responsible for setting safe and appropriate speed limits on local roads and people’s safety was a top priority. Feedback from the survey will be used to finalise speed limit changes in the speed management plan as well as to inform what should be included in the next iteration of the speed management plan.
