Staff and board members at a remote rural school are calling for better road signage in a bid to slow down traffic speeding past the premises. Ahuroa School sits on a sealed, almost straight stretch of road at the northern end of Ahuroa Road, in between two much longer metalled sections. AT said existing 50km/h speed limit signs and school warning signs near Clifford Road and Ahuroa Valley Road were adequate. “Ahuroa School is one of the schools where AT plans to implement a variable speed limit of 40km/hr during school drop-off and pick-up times by July 2026,” they said. “This proposal will include additional signage to indicate the reduced speed limit on Ahuroa Road outside the school during these times.”
