The government agency in charge of state highways is considering another tranche of speed limit reductions across Northland as part of a nationwide drive to reduce the road toll.
No consultation dates have been set as yet but the stretches of highway up for review include high crash-rate areas such as State Highway 1 between Kawakawa and Whangārei, and Whangārei to the Auckland boundary, and SH11 between Kawakawa and Paihia.
