As part of the Governments' Road to Zero National Road Safety Strategy, we are required to review speed limits in the Kaipara District.
We are doing this in a staged process, focusing on areas where the evidence indicates that changing the speed limit will have the greatest impact on reducing fatal and serious harm crashes and improving overall road safety.
You can see the latest information about the Road to Zero National Road Safety Strategy on the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency website.
