We want to make your roads safer for everyone who uses them. Between 2010 and 2019, 21 people died and 95 were seriously injured on SH2 from Mangatarata through to Katikati. We are reviewing the current speed limits want to make sure that speeds are safe for this road.
Speed limit consultationBetween March and April 2021 we engaged with local communities, mana whenua, key stakeholders, councils and road user industry groups about the current speed limits on State Highway 2 between Mangatarata and Katikati. From 14 November to 12 December 2022, we’ll be consulting on proposed changes to speed limits along this stretch of state highway, as part of an Interim State Highway Speed Management Plan. |
There are concerns from the community about the speed people are travelling along this road and through the towns of Ngatea, Paeroa, Waihī and Katikati. The current speed limits are not safe for the way people use the road.
Our priority is to make this a safer stretch of road as soon as possible so that everyone living on and using State Highway 2 can get where they are going safely.
One way we can do this is reviewing the current speed limits, but we need your help to make sure we’ve got it right.
We know local people know their roads best. Let us know what you think about speed on this road. Does it feel safe for the way people use it? Is it affecting your community?
We will take the feedback we get from you and others who use or live along this road into account when we look at possible changes to the speed limits.
