We are planning to install driver feedback speed signs at some key locations around Auckland.

Project overview

As part of our work to improve the safety of Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland’s roads, we have carried out 3 rounds of speed limit reviews around the Auckland transport network. In areas where the speed limit has recently been reduced as part of the Safe Speeds programme, we’ve identified 17 roads where drivers are still travelling at high speeds.

To encourage safer speeds, we are planning to install driver feedback signs to remind drivers to choose safe and appropriate speeds. Driver feedback signs are signs that light up to display the speed the driver is travelling at.

These works support Tamaki Makaurau’s commitment to Vision Zero, an ambitious transport safety vision, with the goal of no deaths or serious injuries on our transport system by 2050. This approach acknowledges that as people we all make mistakes, however a mistake should not mean someone dies or is seriously injured on our roads. It’s also an approach that values everyone using the road, not just those in vehicles. It is about caring for more vulnerable road users like people walking or cycling, children and the elderly.

Timeline

These works are planned for February to March 2023.
