Proposed speed changes.
The justification for the increase from 100 to 110kph from Rolleston to Curletts rd is mostly around improving efficiency.
I assumed, (yes, a very dangerous thing to do), that this was meaning that Trucks would increase in speed as well, which would have been a safety issue for me, but was the only logical reason for justifying the change on efficiency grounds.
However, a section off the Gvt site says "The 90km/h speed limit for heavy vehicles and towing vehicles applies on 110km/h roads. Where there are two lanes in each direction, other drivers can safely and easily pass slower-moving vehicles"
If the trucks can not speed up, how are efficiencies going to be made when only smaller vehicles, that can save 2 mins on each trip and Trucks zero?
Am I missing something?
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
