| 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 2 locations on SH3 between Waitara and Bell Block in Taranaki. You can read more about these locations in the list below.
Following this consultation, we will share the outcomes and future dates for any speed limit changes going live in Taranaki in 2025.
| Section of State Highway | Length | Current speed limit | Speed it will reverse to if no public support to retain it |
|
SH3 Bell Block East |
4.3km | 80km/h | 100km/h |
| SH3 Waitara 430m East of Princess St to 300m east of Bayly St |
0.9km | 80km/h | 100km/h |
