| Consultation has now closed |
We consulted in several regions around the country between 30 January and 13 March 2025 to find out local support levels for keeping speed limits at specific state highway locations at today’s lowered speeds.
NZTA is required to reverse these locations’ speed limit to their previous speeds by 1 July 2025, unless there is public support to retain them.
We consulted on 1 location in Gisborne.
