'Might as well get my horse and cart': Lower speed limits on state highways frustrate locals


Then there's the 30km chunk of State Highway 2 between Katikati and Tauranga, where speed limits are now set at either 60 or 80 km/h. There, speed limits now never reach 100, and alternate mostly between 90 or 80km/h. In a statement, an agency spokesperson said safe speed limits minimised the severity of crashes when they occurred. But Perry said it was difficult for councils - who set the speed limits for all roads which aren't state highways - to change speed limits. Waka Kotahi said it was intending to make it easier for local authorities to change speed limits.
