Bike Auckland launched the ‘Save our Safe Speeds’ campaign in opposition to Transport Minister Simeon Brown’s Speed Rule. The Speed Rule (which will come into force in October 2024) imposes blanket speed limit increases on our communities, making streets near schools more dangerous for our tamariki – and anyone else traveling along them.
7 of 10 New Zealanders are supportive of lowering speeds around schools to increase road safety. But Minister Brown would prefer to ignore the overwhelming evidence that deaths and serious injuries are highly expensive for our economy and to raise speeds, causing 55 more Aucklanders to be killed and seriously injured on the road over the next two years.
