The new Minister of Transport has opened the door for public consultation on at least some of the speed limit changes the government said would be automatic.

Announcing the changes to speed limits last week, Transport Minister Chris Bishop issued two lists - one containing 49 stretches of state highway where there would be public consultation on whether to up the limits and one of 38 areas that would automatically return to higher speed limits.

    For as much as I’d like to pile on NACT, as both a public service employee who’s nearly lost their job, and many friends who did and remain jobless,

    This seems pretty sensible. Acknowledging they got some of the things wrong and getting community feedback.

      I’m curious if the new minister came in and actually listened to the advice. It’s interesting that this happened straight after the last minister got moved (promoted?).
