2025
The Setting of Speed Limits Rule 2024 requires some speed limits that were lowered over the past few years to be reversed to their previous higher speed limits. This requirement affects some past speed reviews on sections of state highway in Northland and Auckland.
For more information please visit:
We will be consulting from 30 January to 13 March 2025 to determine local levels of support for existing speed limits on some categories of state highways.

2022
From 17 May to 14 June 2022, Waka Kotahi undertook formal legal consultation (under the 2017 Setting of Speed Limits Rule) in Northland and Auckland, to seek feedback on any factors the public thought we should consider before making a final decision.
Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2017
The public were asked to include the corridor and relevant section number/s to help pinpoint where the factors and suggested changes refer to in their feedback.
We received a total of 653 unique submissions on these proposals from the public and a range of key stakeholder groups.
Feedback and findings from the 2022 consultation process is outlined in our consultation summary.

2021
In 2021, we sought feedback and local knowledge on the 11 corridors. The public engagement process closed on Monday 14 June 2021 and allowed us to gain an understanding of how people use the roads and any concerns local road users have.
During the engagement period, we talked with iwi and hapū partners, local government, communities, industry groups, schools and marae, and received 1,162 individual submissions.
Through this process we learned about the spots (such as outside schools and marae) and stretches where speed is a concern for communities, places where development has occurred and speed limits are no longer appropriate, and areas where road use patterns have changed (for example, where there are more logging trucks on the roads).
Thank you to everyone who shared their views.
We have reviewed all the feedback and a summary of engagement is available below. This outlines the steps we took and what we heard.
