There also needs to be a zebra crossing outside for the children catching the bus to school. This is long overdue.

]]> Mon, 2 Mar 2015 01:19:31 UTC 18613983 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18274958?utm_medium=rss I whole Heartedly agree with this petition.

]]> Sun, 21 Dec 2014 02:16:30 UTC 18274958 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18265955?utm_medium=rss Tue, 16 Dec 2014 08:38:20 UTC 18265955 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18260857?utm_medium=rss Speed limit through Waipatu should be 50 in line with Omahu and other kaianga of Heretaunga. Keeping our tamariki safe is the priority

]]> Sun, 14 Dec 2014 11:13:39 UTC 18260857 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18256381?utm_medium=rss IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE SPEED LIMIT BE REDUCED TO 60KM/HR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY WHANAU, THEIR TAMARIKI, RANGATAHI, PAKEKE, KAUMATUA. WAIPATU MARAE HOSTS MANY ACTIVITIES AND THEREFORE I URGE THOSE IN AUTHORITY NAMELY THE LOCAL COUNCIL AND ROAD TRNSPORT TO GIVE THIS MATTER THEIR URGENT ATTENTION.

]]> Thu, 11 Dec 2014 06:14:45 UTC 18256381 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18254887?utm_medium=rss Publicising this around the world so others would lower is a great idea for all who can

]]> Thu, 11 Dec 2014 12:12:46 UTC 18254887 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18254108?utm_medium=rss Waipatu's speed limit should be 60km/p because the area now is so busy and the safety of the children and Kaumatuas is most important.

]]> Wed, 10 Dec 2014 02:21:51 UTC 18254108 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18250165?utm_medium=rss Needs to be reduced for safety of locals

]]> Tue, 9 Dec 2014 04:11:41 UTC 18250165 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18250069?utm_medium=rss I frequently visit Waipatu and am very concerned about the high speeds motorist get up to along this stretch of road that i have witnessed. As this is a main road feeding into Hastings town, i definitely feel motorist need to reduce their speed at Kenilworth Rd to 60km/h. This would prevent harm and injury caused by excessive speeds of a motor vehicle. Waipatu is a active community and has a very popular Marae that caters for large numbers/groups of people. Waipatu also significantly is of historical importance due to Maori heritage and local history of Hastings township. Provisions must be put in place to support safer communities and recognition of historical/traditional areas that give Hastings town the unique factor.
I grew up in Waipatu, and as a child living opposite the Marae, and the speed in which cars travel by has always been high risk for on coming traffic and pedestrians. I have observed many accidents in my time and finally in conclusion something must be done. Reduce the speed limit.

]]> Tue, 9 Dec 2014 02:30:13 UTC 18250069 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18249709?utm_medium=rss Too many accidents have occured down here by vehicles speeding around the corners. Reducing the speed will be hepful on your behalf and is safer for the children to walk around freely.

]]> Mon, 8 Dec 2014 09:29:44 UTC 18249709 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18248857?utm_medium=rss I've witnessed three critical car accidents, two of them involving my family members who are just simply turning down their own driveway along karamu road. Also as a student at Karamu High School I needed to ride the bus to and from Waipatu and it was always a hazard crossing the road as cars were passing too fast. I almost got hit by a car twice because vehicles were hooping around the corner at 70kmph which is ridiculously fast for a small village. We also have a lot of children in the area running around. So reducing the speed limit will be an excellent move on your behalf to make a safer environment for our children and their future.

]]> Mon, 8 Dec 2014 03:17:42 UTC 18248857 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18248850?utm_medium=rss When attending a funeral at Waipatu, the cars continue doing 70ks, I could not even get out of my car until i moved it to a side street because the cars would have run me over. DANGEROUS please change the speed limit before someone really gets hurt.....

]]> Mon, 8 Dec 2014 03:16:05 UTC 18248850 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18246861?utm_medium=rss I am in favour of supporting the speed limit being reduced.

]]> Mon, 8 Dec 2014 02:30:47 UTC 18246861 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18246500?utm_medium=rss Drop the speed limit. Do it to keep the whanau in the area safe and alive! Too many people speed through.

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 09:16:14 UTC 18246500 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18246496?utm_medium=rss Reducing the speed limit through the Waipatu Settlement can only better the safety of friends and family who live or visit regularly. It resonates so many memories with me I never want to speed past.

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 09:14:29 UTC 18246496 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18246100?utm_medium=rss Keep it safe for everyone in this beautiful community

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 02:54:10 UTC 18245925 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18245903?utm_medium=rss 50km/h please!!

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 02:37:38 UTC 18245903 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18245889?utm_medium=rss Pay attention!

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 02:30:35 UTC 18245889 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18245885?utm_medium=rss Waipatu is a busy community with lots of elderly and children. I feel that the current speed limit is unnecessarily high. Please slow it down for the well being of the community.

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 02:27:17 UTC 18245885 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18245862?utm_medium=rss Sun, 7 Dec 2014 02:08:06 UTC 18245862 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18245850?utm_medium=rss Hope all goes well.

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 01:59:15 UTC 18245850 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18245822?utm_medium=rss Having lived on the cnr of St Georges Rd Nth/Highway 2 Waipatu for many yrs 2 girls that resided with us were killed (hit/run) while walking home from work, another gentleman was also hit & died just outside our place of residence.
The lowering of the speed limit should have done years ago.

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 01:41:42 UTC 18245822 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18245797?utm_medium=rss Reduce to 60. I was hit from behind by a speeding car and shunted into an oncoming suv. I was stationary and waiting to turn into my driveway. My grand daughter was also in the car.

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 01:32:00 UTC 18245797 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18245618?utm_medium=rss Please reduce the speed limit

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 05:41:21 UTC 18245089 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244998?utm_medium=rss The road speed has always been a danger to our community, reducing the speed limit can only decrease the risks.

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 04:25:23 UTC 18244998 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244960?utm_medium=rss This stretch of road is becoming more dangerous with the build up of traffic. Double yellow lines from Ellwood Rd to St Georges Road is a ncecessity.

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 03:56:48 UTC 18244960 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244952?utm_medium=rss Have to go back to throwing rocks at speeders like in the early 70's. C'mon council put the speed limit up outside your houses so you can worry about your kids with us. Saftey for ALL isn't it or do tax payers pay your wages to make wrong decisions

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 03:51:27 UTC 18244952 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244906?utm_medium=rss Sun, 7 Dec 2014 03:08:22 UTC 18244906 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244864?utm_medium=rss I tautoko this petition and would like to see the speed limit reduced to at least 60km in Waipatu.

Traffic on that stretch can be horrific and fast.

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 12:56:01 UTC 18244784 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244776?utm_medium=rss I am from Waipatu and i would love to see the speed zone go to 60kph. this is a very busy part of SH2 and every time i go into and out of Waipatu Marae i find it very nerve wrecking as the traffic is very fast.

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 12:39:52 UTC 18244776 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244773?utm_medium=rss Sun, 7 Dec 2014 12:37:13 UTC 18244773 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244761?utm_medium=rss As a resident of waipatu I am totally for lowering the speed limit.

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 12:19:38 UTC 18244757 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244748?utm_medium=rss Bridge Pa and other areas have a 50 km limit and they are in the country.

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2014 12:12:25 UTC 18244748 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244712?utm_medium=rss I totally support a speed limit change. The traffic is too dangerous. Waipatu is a common place of gathering and it should be considered a safety issue.

]]> Sat, 6 Dec 2014 11:35:06 UTC 18244712 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244703?utm_medium=rss Yes I am very supportive of this petition, as I lived in Waipatu for a year & witnessed 1 accident causing death on this main road, & 1 serious accident, major injuries were reported, I am very supportive with decreasing the speed limit on this road/highway.

]]> Sat, 6 Dec 2014 11:24:20 UTC 18244703 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244675?utm_medium=rss 60kms

]]> Sat, 6 Dec 2014 10:24:31 UTC 18244645 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244642?utm_medium=rss Reduce the speed - there are residential houses on both sides, a marae, 2 major bustops not to mention the amount of accidents that have occurred there since i was at primary school (30 years ago). As children we applied to the council and police to put in a pedestrian but because it was a 70k zone we were denied safety

]]> Sat, 6 Dec 2014 10:23:25 UTC 18244642 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244638?utm_medium=rss Reduce the speed limits for safety's sake before something horrible happens

]]> Sat, 6 Dec 2014 10:22:23 UTC 18244638 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244636?utm_medium=rss 80Km/hr speed is higher than what it was previously (70Km/hr) and is being touted as a 'safety zone'. There is no logic in that. Busy dangerous built-up stretch of the road and the excuse it is a SHWY so it can't be 60Km/hr doesn't wash...ok to be 50 for Horse of the Year/ HB show etc?

]]> Sat, 6 Dec 2014 10:20:50 UTC 18244636 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18244628?utm_medium=rss There are too many crazies racing through Waipatu... Let's slow it down for our tāmāriki
