New lanes and lower speed on State Highway 20

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Commuters to Auckland airport will have to slow down next month when a reduced speed limit rolls out on state highway 20.

New priority lanes for buses and cars carrying three or more people will also be added.

The 100km/h speed limit will drop to 60km/h from the Manukau Memorial Gardens to 300 metres west of Orrs Road.

The new bus lanes between Pukaki Creek Bridge and the state highway 20 interchange will support electric buses running between the airport, Puhinui rail and bus interchange and Manukau.

Cars with three or more occupants can use the bus/ T3 priority lanes to ease congestion.

for more information.

What do you think about the planned speed reduction?

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
