Speed limits on national secondary roads and local roads are being reduced on a phased basis from Friday, as part of a Government strategy to cut road deaths and injuries in half by 2030.

Going forward, the default speed limit on national secondary roads will be reduced from 100km/h to 80km/h. On local roads, the limit will be reduced to 60km/h from 80km/h.
