48444 (2024). Helen White to the Minister of Transport

48444 (2024). Helen White to the Minister of Transport: How, if at all, does he reconcile the Government’s proposal to reverse permanent safe-speed zones around schools, with the views of 78% of school leaders in Auckland’s recent speed management plan consultation, including school leaders in the Mt Albert electorate, who support all-day safe speed zones because 85% of deaths and serious injuries on streets outside schools take place outside the times proposed for variable speed limits?

Hon Simeon Brown: A range of views have been expressed on the proposals to reverse recent speed limit reductions on local roads, and to introduce variable speed limits outside schools. I will take these views into consideration before finalising the new Setting of Speed Limits Rule.
