Speed limits across the entire highway network in Hawke's Bay could be dropped, as well as parts of its bordering regions.

Next year, Waka Kotahi will review the limit from Norsewood to Gisborne, as well as the road from Napier to Takapau.
 
It comes after much angst in the region over the decision to lower the speed limit on the Napier-Taupō Rd to 80km/h an hour.

Hawke's Bay reporter Tom Kitchin has been finding out what locals think of the idea of lowering speed limits.
