DMS #975560 Palmerston North City Council Speed Limits Bylaw Review 2013 Statement of Proposal Introduction This Statement of Proposal relates to the review of the Palmerston North Speed Limits Bylaw. The Council is required to review its bylaws within five years of adoption and every ten years after that. This review constitutes the first review since the Speed Limits Bylaw was adopted in 2007. This document outlines the changes the Council is proposing to the Speed Limits Bylaw, the reasons for those proposals and an analysis of the reasonably practicable options. This Statement of Proposal includes a copy of the Bylaw that the Council is proposing to adopt. The Proposal The proposed Speed Limits Bylaw is based partly on the existing Speeds Limits Bylaw 2007 and partly on changes to that bylaw that fall into five parts: 1. Expansion of the Palmerston North Urban Traffic Area. 2. Creation of new Urban Traffic Areas for Bunnythorpe and Longburn. 3. Changes to speed limits for specific roads. 4. The creation of a City centre 30 km/h zone. 5. Establishing variable speed limits for schools in Palmerston North. 1. Expansion of the Palmerston North Urban Traffic Area The Council is proposing to extend the Palmerston North Urban Traffic Area, primarily to the east and west of the City, to take account of future urban growth areas. Schedule 1 of the draft Speed Limits Bylaw shows the proposed changes. 2. Creation of new Urban Traffic Areas for Bunnythorpe and Longburn Following the completion of the boundary change on 1 July 2012, the Council has new urban areas in Bunnythorpe and Longburn. Bunnythorpe was covered by an Urban Traffic Area under the Manawatu District Council Speed Limits Bylaw and the proposal here is to retain the same designation. The proposal is to create a similar Urban Traffic Area for Longburn, lowering the speed of the roads within the township from 70 km/h to 50 km/h. Schedule 1 of the draft Speed Limits Bylaw shows the proposed changes. 3. Changes to speed limits for specific roads The roads on which the speed limit is proposed to be changed, together with the current and proposed speed limits, are as described below. Schedule 1 of the draft Speed Limits Bylaw shows the proposed changes. 2 Road Current Speed Limit Akers Road (from 260 metres south of Beaconsfield Road 100 km/h to 40 metres north of the North Island main trunk railway line) Kelvin Grove Road (from James Line to Henaghans Line) 100 km/h Summerhill Drive (from Cliff Road to Turitea Road) 70 km/h Reserve Road (from SH56 to boundary line) 70 km/h Rongotea Road (from SH56 for 700m heading north) 100 km/h Walkers Road (from SH56) 100 km/h Milson Line (from Flygers Line to a point 300m south of 100 km/h Kairanga-Bunnythorpe Road) Railway Road (from the overbridge to a point 250m north- 100 km/h east of Setters Line Stoney Creek Road (from SH3 to 80 metres north of the 100 km/h railway line) Stoney Creek Road (from Kelvin Grove Road to 220m north 100 km/h of Briarwood Road), including Briarwood Road. Tutaki Road (from Kelvin Grove Road to 100m north of 100 km/h Tutakarae Road) Tennent Drive (from Mogine Road to 100m south of 100 km/h Prendergast Road Turitea Road (from Old West Road) including Harts Road, 100 km/h Ngahere Park Road, Oram Drive, Kereru Drive, and Guyland Drive) Kahuterawa Road (from Old West Road) including 100 km/h Lacebark Drive Kairanga-Bunnythorpe Road (for 500m east of Rongotea 100 km/h Road) Rongotea Road (for 500m south of Kairanga-Bunnythorpe 100 km/h Road) Proposed Speed Limit 70 km/h 80 km/h 60 km/h 50 km/h 80 km/h 70 km/h 80 km/h 50 km/h 70 km/h 80 km/h 80 km/h 70 km/h 80 km/h 80 m/h 70 km/h 70 km/h Note that Kairanga Bunnythorpe Road and Rongotea Road at Kairanga speed limits will require complementary changes to speed limits by Manawatu District Council for the portion of these roads under their control. 4. 30 km/h speed limits for the City centre The Council is proposing to lower the speed limit to 30 km/h on City centre streets that are within the Ring Road and are identified as ‘pedestrian streets’ in Plan Change One; namely all or part of: Andrew Young Street, Ashley Street, Broadway Avenue, Coleman Place, Cross Street, Cuba Street, Church Street, Donnington Street, Fitzherbert Avenue, George Street, King Street, Linton Street Main Street, Rangitikei Street and The Square. Schedules 1 and 2 of the draft Speed Limits Bylaw show the proposed changes. 5. 40 km/h variable speed limits for schools The Council is proposing to establish variable speed limits of 40 km/h on roads adjoining primary, intermediate and secondary schools in Palmerston North. The variable speed limits will only apply at the times when children usually travel to or from school. Variable limits only apply those roads which have pedestrian and/or vehicular access to the school and will apply for up to 150 metres on either side of those access ways. Streets will 3 require signs notifying of the variable limit, including electronic signs on the main streets and will be enforceable by New Zealand Police. The 40 km/h variable speed limit will not apply to preschools, kindergartens or other early childhood education facilities, nor will it apply to roads where the Palmerston North City Council is not the road controlling authority. Rural schools, being Kairanga School, Longburn Adventist College, Linton Contributing School and Whakarongo School are proposed for variable speed limits. Aokautere School, Queen Elizabeth College and Turitea School are located on State Highways and are beyond Council’s jurisdiction for setting of speed limits. Roads around Linton Camp School are controlled by NZ Defence Force. The 40km/h variable speed limits will only apply to those roads which have direct pedestrian access to the school for up to 150 metres on either side of those access ways. The 40 km/h variable speed limit will not apply to preschools, kindergartens or other early childhood education facilities, nor to roads where the Palmerston North City Council is not the road controlling authority. Four rural schools, being Kairanga School, Longburn Adventist College, Linton Contributing School and Whakarongo School are proposed for 40 km/h variable speed limits. Aokautere School, Queen Elizabeth College and Turitea School are located on State Highways and are beyond Council’s jurisdiction for setting of speed limits. Schedules 1 and 3 of the draft Speed Limits Bylaw show the proposed changes. Commencement of speed limits It is proposed that parts 1, 2 and 3 will commence on 1 December 2013. It is proposed that parts 4 and 5 will commence on 1 December 2014. A staged implementation is necessary to allow time for implementation of traffic-calming measures as required for slower speed zones. 4 Reason for the Proposal The proposed changes to the Speed Limits Bylaw are a result of the requirement that the Council is required to review its bylaws within five years of adoption and then every ten years after that. The Speed Limits Bylaw was adopted in 2007. This review constitutes its first review under the Local Government Act 2002. Part 1: The reason is that as the city grows and new subdivisions are created, streets will be built to service those areas. By extending the urban traffic area to cover these areas where the Council is anticipating urban growth, it can ensure that those roads are automatically designated with the urban traffic speed limit (50 km/h). Part 2: The reason for creating an urban traffic area in Bunnythorpe is that an urban traffic area already exists in Bunnythorpe, created by Manawatu District Council prior to the boundary change. The proposal is to include this same urban traffic area in the Palmerston North Speed Limits Bylaw. No changes to the present speed limits in the Bunnythorpe urban area are proposed. The reason for creating an urban traffic area in Longburn is to lower speed limits for the urban area (from 70 km/h to 50 km/h). Both Longburn and Bunnythorpe are comparable to Ashhurst which already has an urban traffic area. By creating urban traffic areas any future roads in the urban area will automatically have a 50 km/h speed limit (unless otherwise specified through a change to the Bylaw at that time). Part 3: The reason is that conditions of each road have been reassessed in accordance with the Speed Limits New Zealand (Schedule 1, Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2003), and the speed calculated using that assessment is deemed to be safer than the current speed limit for these particular roads. Part 4: The reason is to reinforce the need for slower speeds in built-up environments where pedestrians and cyclists may be at risk of injury. Many parts of the city centre are already designed for slower traffic speeds. Part 5: The reason is to provide a safer environment for children who may be walking to and from school. Children are at greater risk of injury when hit by a vehicle and the seriousness of the injury is greater when the vehicle is travelling at a faster speed. 5 Analysis of options PARTS 1 to 5 Benefits Review the Speed Limits Bylaw The Council will be complying with its legislative obligations by undertaking the review of the Speed Limits Bylaw Do not review the Speed Limits Bylaw Retain existing speed limits following review of the Speed Limits Bylaw PART 1 Expand the Palmerston North Urban Traffic Area to the East and West No specific benefits For many parts of the City, existing speed limits have worked relatively well. In these areas, there have been few major traffic issues and there are no obvious reasons indicating that alternative speed limits would be more appropriate. Benefits To ensure that an urban speed limit of 50 km/h is applied automatically to new urban developments in the areas where Council expects urban growth. Do not expand the Palmerston North Urban Traffic Area No specific advantages PART 2 Benefits Create Urban Traffic Areas in Longburn and Bunnythorpe To continue the same Urban Traffic Area that existed before the boundary change between the Palmerston North and Manawatu districts. To ensure that any new urban development in those areas will have an automatic 50 km/h speed limit applied. 6 Disadvantages No specific disadvantages The Speed Limits Bylaw will be automatically revoked on 3 October 2014 if it is not reviewed and replaced before that date. In some parts of the City, such as in the City centre, in the vicinity of schools, and in areas where urban expansion is taking place some speed-related issues are becoming apparent. These could be more appropriately addressed by introducing different speed limits or speed zones, as mentioned in the analysis of further options below. Disadvantages No specific disadvantages Any new streets in these areas will require a speed limit to be set by separately amending the Speed Limits Bylaw. Disadvantages No specific disadvantages Any new streets in these areas will require a speed limit to be set by separately amending the Speed Limits Bylaw. Do not create Urban Traffic Areas in Longburn and Bunnythorpe No specific advantages PART 3 Benefits Disadvantages The lower speed limits will make the identified roads safer for vehicles, road users and pedestrians, in accordance with the Speed Limits Setting Rule. A slower speed may affect the efficiency of the transport network for motor vehicle movements. Change the speed limits for roads as identified The status quo will remain for each of the identified roads, potentially creating less safe environments for road users and pedestrians in those areas. Do not make changes to the speed limits for identified roads No specific advantages PART 4 Benefits Disadvantages There are parts of the city centre within the inner Ring Road (being Grey Street, Walding Street, Bourke Street, Pitt Street, Ferguson Street, and Princess Street) where the operating speed is significantly lower than 50kh/m. A lower speed limit will reinforce the slower speeds in the City centre environment. Some streets will require modification to support lower speeds. Preliminary engineering assessment identified a need for threshold treatments at entry points to the city centre and additional street traffic calming measures. An implementation budget would be developed as part of the 2014/15 Annual Plan. A 30 km/h zone is likely to reduce risk of serious injury in the event of a crash, and focus the city centre on active transport modes (such as walking and cycling) in line with Council’s strategic direction. Slower speeds within the Ring Road may increase journey times for some drivers. However, the difference in journey times is likely to be minimal. A 30 km/h zone may encourage drivers to use the Ring Road when travelling across town, rather than driving through the city centre. This could help to reinforce the city centre as a destination rather a traffic corridor, and may help ease congestion within the city centre. Slower speeds within the Ring Road may encourage drivers to use the inner Ring Road and roads outside the city centre to transit across the City. This may increase congestion. Create a City centre zone within the Ring Road where the speed limit is 30 km/h for roads 7 Create a City centre zone within the Ring Road where the speed limit is 40 km/h for roads A 40 km/h speed limit for roads within the Ring Road has similar benefits as for the 30 km/h speed limit option discussed above. Risks of serious injury to pedestrians and cyclists are marginally, but not substantially, higher under this option. There are no significant disadvantages as the average operating speed in the city centre is close to 40 km/h. A 40 km/h speed limit within the Ring Road is more likely to match current operating speed, and would therefore require less infrastructural change to lower operating speeds to the desired speed limit, meaning less cost for changes to the road environment. There may be some costs to altering the road environment to support a speed limit of 40 km/h. However, as the operating speeds are already close to 40 km/h, these costs would likely be less than if the speed were lowered to 30 km/h. Leaving the speeds in the City centre unchanged would likely have no impact on the risks caused by vehicles travelling at 50 km/h within the Ring Road. Do not lower the speed limits within the Ring Road The status quo would mean that any costs of altering the road environment to support a lower speed limit would be avoided. PART 5 Benefits Disadvantages Variable speeds allow for slower speeds around schools at specified times, where those lower speeds are likely to have the greatest benefit. Using a variable speed (as opposed to a permanent lower speed) allows for efficient movement of vehicles at other times. While a variable speed limit is in effect, the efficiency of the transport network for vehicle movements may be affected. Create variable speed limits for identified schools in Palmerston North Do not create variable speed limits for identified schools in Palmerston North Lower speed limits to 30 km/h for all roads within 150 metres of urban school accesses in Palmerston North urban area. 8 The status quo will remain and the cost of installing the additional signage or altering the road environment will be avoided. Benefits of this approach are likely to be reduced risk of serious injury in the event of a crash, a lower cost for signage than active warning signs for variable speed limits, and greater certainty for road users and pedestrians. Variable speed limits require additional signage, including active warning signs for some sites, which will incur a financial cost. Vehicles will continue to drive past schools at the ordinary speed for the road, potentially creating unsafe environments for pedestrians in those areas. Disadvantages are likely to be a disproportionate impact on the roading network from the reduced speed limit, costs from additional signage to mark the 30 km/h zone, and costs to alter the road environment to support a lower speed limit. Preliminary cost estimates for imposition of school speed zones have expected costs per school in a cost range of $10,000 and $35,000 per school depending on the type of treatment, road width and number of locations being treated. Some school accesses are on major roads that have an important through traffic function. Some change in traffic patterns around the city can be expected as drivers change routes to avoid school zones, either because the zones are speed restricted or have traffic calming in place. Section 155 Determinations When making a bylaw under the Local Government Act 2002 the Council must comply with the matters in section 155 of that Act. This section requires that the Council must determine whether a bylaw is the most appropriate way of addressing the perceived problem. The Council must then determine whether the bylaw is in the most appropriate form and that it does not give rise to any implications under the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. In order for the Council to determine whether the draft Bylaw is the best way of addressing the perceived problem, the Council considered the options for addressing the perceived problems. The Council’s Community Wellbeing Committee received reports that outlined the identified problem and the options. The identified problem is principally the requirement to set speed limits for roads under the control of the Council. The Council considered two options for addressing the setting of speed limits – adopt a bylaw, or do not adopt a bylaw. This is, however, largely a formality. The only means by which speed limits can be legally set is via a bylaw. In the absence of a bylaw the Council will have no means to set speed limits. Further, the Council is obliged under rule 7.2(1) of the Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits to set speed limits by making a bylaw. Therefore, the Council determined that a bylaw is the most appropriate way of addressing the perceived problem of setting speed limits. The Council resolved on 24 October 2012 that a bylaw is the most appropriate way of setting speed limits in Palmerston North. On 22 April 2013, 6 May and 5 June, the Community WellBeing Committee received reports on the Speed Limits Bylaw. On 17 June 2013, the Community Well-Being Committee received a report with drafts of this Statement of Proposal and the Summary of Information. The report recommended to the Committee that the Bylaw as presented in the Statement of Proposal was the most 9 appropriate form of bylaw, and did not give rise to any implications under the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990.
