Press Release – Auckland Transport Last year 36 people died after travelling on Auckland’s roads – this sobering statistic is unacceptable and Auckland Transport (AT) has plans to reduce this number. Part of this plan is to deliver safer, more appropriate speed limits for Auckland’s roads, particularly in the Franklin area – which had the highest number of road deaths in Auckland during 2020. Auckland Transport’s Board has now approved consultation to commence on its proposal to amend the Speed Limits Bylaw 2019. Later this year Auckland Transport will seek public feedback on its next phase of proposed safer speed limits, this includes reviewing speed limits on approximately 614 km of roads for possible reductions.
