Changes are coming to speed limits outside schools as part of our Local Road Speed Review.
As part of a nationwide programme led by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, councils across the country are in the process of developing new Speed Management Plans that will guide changes to speed limits across high-risk roads.
This is part of an effort to meet a national target to reduce deaths and severe injuries on our roads by 40 percent over the next 10 years.

We’re starting with speeds outside the following rural schools:
