The changes have been endorsed by transport researchers and street safety advocates as effective measures to help reduce the number of Kiwis killed and injured on the roads.

That's all there is to it.

Yep totally agreed. 100 feels so slow there. Should be 120 or so.

I'm all for lowering speed limits in urban areas.

Also there should be more focus on other things like alcohol testing, fatigue, keeping distance, etc. But speed is easier to test and brings in cash.

I can tell you from experience that 130 on the expressway doesn't feel particularly fast either.

Fortunately you rarely see police north of Paraparaumu on that road.
