Lower speed limit of 80kmh signalled for high accident stretch
A lower speed limit of 80kmh may be in place by Christmas along a deadly stretch of State Highway 60, near Nelson.
New Zealand Transport Agency has signalled a lowering of the speed limit from 100kmh to 80kmh for the whole section of SH60 between Three Brothers Corner at Richmond and Maisey Rd.
The increasingly busy section, which includes a long straight followed by a winding stretch, has had a number of fatal and serious crashes in recent years. Read more here.

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)
