[HenryDorsetCase]

Autobahn-NewZealand you reckon?

every bahn is an autobahn if we're a libertarian

Did I miss something - Napier Taupo road, one of the silliest ones of all in my opinion is not getting changed back? Huh??? They even had a "Jacinda did this" sign posted on it FFS

Yep you missed it. It’s there as rangataiki to Eskdale.
Conveniently we’ve just had a spate of major crashes everywhere locally so they won’t be able to say speed caused it.
Apparently the stats do say a drop in fatalities etc since reduction but let’s not forget we’ve had so much roadworks and congestion you can’t die if your stopped. Plus a lot of recreational road users have started away due to so much loose chip etc.

All the pseudo libertarians on here should be pestering their Jesus, David Seymour to remove all speed limits everywhere. Let the market decide who lives or dies and how fast you should go. Audi and BMW and 4x4 doublecab ute drivers already drive this way and its fine.

What are you doing driving comrade. The state has provided rail, bus and air travel for you to travel in safety. Yes it may be a long walk to some stations but it’s for the greater good. The exercise will help keep you fit and a lesser burden on health system.

I am working many extra hours at tractor factory to ensure bountiful harvests assured by Marxist-Leninist ideology can be processed into food for the proletariat. I have no interest in going anywhere other than tractor factory and Party meetings which I can walk to.

He lies! I saw him drive past my property the other day, even had a cheery smile on his face as he waved to me from behind the wheel of his personal automobile.

The 110 section of the Waikato expressway seems to be heading this way. I rode down to Cambridge from Auckland one evening last month and did my usual 120 once the limit went to 110 at Hampton Downs. The traffic was light and maybe half the cars and utes were going faster. So I tried 130, and was still being passed, with the odd Audi or BMW going very quick.

Thank you for pointing this out - thank goodness for that!

Does anyone know, did they do a blanket reversal, or did they take this on a case by case basis before making a decision on what roads speed changes get reversed, and which ones don't?

Some are being directly rolled back.

Others are undergoing public consultation, before a decision is made.

This has created confusion, as the public just expects new signs to be up on every road this morning, which is unrealistic. But that impresssion was created by the poor communication of the situation.

More details on the consultation process on the NZTA website? The Stuff article looks like a cut and paste.

Here is the link. The consultation process under the 2024 rule goes beyond the local community, so have your say!

Just be aware it’s generally patrolled daily now and the buggers work earlier and later than they used to.

I was going through the full list and noticed that SH25A is not included, even though the limit was only reduced last year.

Yep, I always viewed the Napier Taupo as a liter bike road, thus ruling out any real fun to be had since it would be a license losing road if one were to cut loose.

I prefer more discrete roads, and even then "cutting loose" would account for about all of 3% of the ride - if that. I've been doing this one down below a bit lately, custom made for my RSV
