SUBMISSION ON THE DRAFT SPEED MANAGEMENT PLAN
2024-2027
We wish to be heard in person.
Summary
Overall Hutt Cycle Network (HCN) support the draft plan, particularly its principles

1. We commend council for making safety, mode shift and emissions reduction

Dear Transport and Industrial Relations Committee,

The Ministry of Transport considered changes to several road rules in 2016.
Several were potentially quite beneficial to cyclists, some quite technical, and some irrelevant.
