Auckland Transport is in a lonely race to raise speeds on over 1400 residential streets mainly around school communities under the government’s Speed Rule. This is a deliberate decision while other cities like Hamilton and Dunedin are taking a more considered and rational approach.
I am part of growing alliance of leading road safety experts and transport advocates who are calling on Auckland’s Mayor to urgently intervene and halt any further speed limit reversals. This will prevent Auckland Transport wasting millions of dollars on making Auckland’s streets less safe, less healthy, and less efficient.
In addition over 400 people have signed an open letter to the Minister and Auckland Transport to let Aucklanders keep safe speeds.
