Time is money, speed limit reversal reflects that

ACT Transport spokesperson Cameron Luxton is welcoming the reversal of speed limit reductions as part of the Government’s July 1 changes.

“Whether you’re a tradie, a parent, or a courier - time is money. From today, speed limits across the country will revert to previous levels, and on some roads built to handle it, limits will increase to 110 km/h,” says Mr Luxton.

“Lowering speed limits caused immense frustration for motorists and reduced productivity. These changes respect people’s time without compromising safety.

"ACT campaigned vigorously against snail-pace speed limits. Our volunteers put up signs all over the country after listening to the frustrations of New Zealanders. Being made to drive at comical speeds was insulting.

“ACT made raising speed limits a condition of coalition. Now, Kiwi motorists can look forward to making up for lost time, while being treated like adults again.”
