Auckland Transport considering speed limit drops

From Morning Report, 7:08 am on 11 May 2022

Speed limits could be slashed on more Auckland roads after data revealed a significant reduction in deaths on roads with lower speed limits.

In 2020, Auckland Transport imposed restrictions on a third of the city's roads - most going from 50 to 30 kilometres an hour.

At a public meeting last night, AT programme director Nathan Cammock said reducing speed limits has had a big impact.
