Heather du Plessis-Allan DriveChris Bishop: Transport Minister on the Government's plan to change speed limits on 38 sections of road
More roads could get faster - beyond the Government's planned changes to speed limits on 38 sections of road.
The Government is reversing speed limit reductions on those stretches by July, with work set to start tonight.
The Prime Minister believes it'll help people get to jobs faster, pushing economic growth.
Transport Minister Chris Bishop says 49 roads deemed 'more complicated' will be consulted on.
"There are some nasty sections of those roads - we're going to consult on them and it may be that NZTA says the default will go back up to 100, for example, but there will be bits where we keep the speed limit."
