On Thursday June 30, changes to speed limits on rural roads in Franklin, Howick, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu, Manurewa, Ōtara-Papatoetoe, Papakura came into effect.
The changes are part of Phase Two of Auckland Transport’s safe speed limits programme.
Auckland Transport’s Executive General Manager of Safety, Stacey van der Putten said speeding contributes to 70% of Auckland’s fatal road crashes.
“It’s really simple – the higher the speed, the more likely it is that you’ll die or be seriously injured in a crash. We have irrefutable international evidence that safe speeds saves lives,” van der Putten said.
“I encourage all Aucklanders to put human life and safety above all else, including getting somewhere quicker - which most of the time is only a matter of seconds.”
Check the full list of roads whose speed limits have changed below:
