New speed limits for Mid Canterbury roads
Published: 3 December 2020

Some Mid Canterbury roads will have new speed limits from 11 December 2020 as the first phase of the Council's Speed Limit Review comes into force.
The changed speed limits will affect roads in Tinwald, Fairton, Mt Somers, Mayfield, Methven and the Ashburton Business Estate.
The new limits largely reflect development around the outskirts of the district's towns and are being implemented to ensure safe speeds on local roads.
