It has been confirmed by NZTA that it was built to 110 km/h standard so why isn’t it? As was commented earlier, 110 km/h is the normal motorway speed limit in Australia. In Britain it’s 70 mph or 113 km/h as it is in America, and many multilane highways there are 75 mph or 121 km/h

Sign my petition to make Transmission Gully 110 km/h

I’ve heard from so many people over the last year since we made the Kāpiti Expressway 110km/hr. Everyone is asking me “why can’t we do the same on Transmission Gully.” Now we can.

Let’s change it.

TG was built to be safe at higher speeds. It’s a world class road with median barriers to eliminate the possibility of head-on collisions, two or three lanes in each direction, side barriers, and only two interchanges along its length.

Consultation on these changes starts today, and I will collate and submit all submissions to NZTA prior to the closing date in six weeks’ time. We need full support to make this change happen. Please sign my petition today.

The Consultation also covers the Raumati Straights between TG and the Kapiti Expressway, which is already at 110 km/h. If both sections of road increase in speed it will be 110km/h from Porirua to Ōtaki. Once Ō2NL is built that will go all the way to Levin.

This is all part of our Government’s plan to deliver the infrastructure we need to grow the economy. Speaking of which, if you want to know more about Investment Boost and how you can get 20% of the value of all new purchases off your tax bill, check this out.
