I think there's a decent argument for making the steep downhill between the actual gully and the Kapiti coast a lower limit, the rest of it I don't see as being a problem.
I think a gentle curve is actually safer than a straight, because you can actually see ahead of you.
Other when it first opened, and there was a popo sitting at the bottom in front of the speed trap; every time I’ve gone to Kapiti that steep downhill traffic has been going 110kmh.
On the uphill, nobody does (or ends up doing) 100 unless they’re EVs, motorcycles, ir anything else with torque.
Even my work van will hold 100 up that hill, and that's by no means a performance vehicle.
Yeah I think most of it is fine. Will be interesting to see the feedback on this, if there are any other arguments I'm not thinking of.
