The Government has confirmed speed limits on some of the main expressways will be lifted to 110km/h. The Automobile Association's Barney Irvine says it's a welcome advancement.
Tauranga's Eastern Link and parts of the Waikato Expressway will get the new limits first - while the idea will be considered for other roads.
But it's not an idea that's universally welcomed - road safety charity BRAKE believes the increase will lead to more deaths and injuries.
