arrowtown_50k.jpg It's back to the original limits in Arrowtown. Police are trawling through years of speeding tickets after realising several temporary limits were unenforceable. Safety boss Harry Wilson says NZTA told the council they had three options for introducing temporary speed limits – road works, unsafe road surfaces or a special event happening. "Following this, the [council] staff member provided written confirmation that the Arrowtown speed limit was be implemented due to suspected unsafe road surface conditions," Wilson says. Road Controlling Authorities, aka local councils, are expected to manage temporary speed restrictions in their districts according to legislation.
