Southland

Speed limits consultation

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 the SH94 Homer Tunnel to Milford Sound interregional state highway in Southland. You can read more about this road in the table below. 

Following this consultation we will share the outcomes and future dates for all transitional speed limit changes under the new Rule going live in 2025.
