Evans Pass Road Safety Upgrades Ahead | Christchurch News

Evans Pass Road in Christchurch is getting a major safety overhaul after a string of deadly crashes, including the recent death of 60-year-old cyclist Ian Huntsman. New, larger signs warning of sharp bends and lowering the speed limit from 60 to 50 km/h are set to go up soon, following community pressure and council analysis showing drivers routinely exceed limits by 10 km/h or more. A speed camera proposal was blocked, but officials are now focusing on improved signage and possibly red road surfacing — though that’s still pending.
