The Automobile Association is expressing its support for some of National's speed reduction promises.

National's announced it'll return many state highways to 100 km/h from 80, and many local roads to 50.

AA Policy Manager Dylan Thomsen told Tim Dower they like the idea of increasing expressway speeds, having more variable speed limits near schools, and fewer unmanned roadwork sites.

“That’s an area that’s a common frustration for a lot of people, so if we can improve that and have less of that, that’d be great.”
