NZTA attempts to reduce the nation’s
high road toll, which currently sits at 171.
However, there was stiff opposition
to any proposal to reduce speed limits,
with the Road Transport Forum saying it
would “slow our economy down”.
But Police Minister Stuart Nash said it
was about setting the right speed limit for

And in that time there have been no

show, and only two serious crashes
recorded.
The number of minor and non-injury
crashes sits at 17 across the two stretches
of highway, with more non-injury crashes
recorded on SH1 Cambridge section of
the Waikato Expressway.
The two stretches of road were selected
