Tekapo residents demand lower speed limit on dangerous road

From Morning Report, 8:29 am on 29 August 2019

Frustrated Tekapo residents turned out in force last night to demand a lower speed limit on the state highway that runs through the middle of their town.

They say the Transport Agency shouldn't wait for a tragedy to convince them the 80 kilometres an hour limit is too fast.

RNZ reporter Eleisha Foon was at the meeting in Lake Tekapo last night where she talked to some of the locals.
