Transmission Gully will move to a 110km/h speed limit from 12:01am on 16 February 2026 for the 27km stretch of State Highway 1 between the Linden and Paekākāriki interchanges, following government approval.
Transport Minister Chris Bishop said the change supports faster, safer travel on a route designed for higher speeds, noting low crash rates and no fatalities since opening in 2022 despite heavy daily traffic volumes.
Public consultation in 2025 showed strong support, with 92% of submissions backing the increase.
The higher limit will not apply to heavy vehicles or vehicles towing trailers, which remain capped at 90km/h. Nearby Raumati Straights will stay at current limits due to safety and design constraints, though future upgrades remain possible depending on funding and further planning.
The very same disgusting piggery individuals who stood surrounding the wasp-nest a few short years back in nasty sneering goose-stepping nazi salute will all be happily sitting hiding now in their skodas chewing gum revenue-collecting for their slimy political globalist puppet-masters with radar 50 metres out of the zone whilst of-course the burglary violence murder and corporate fraud statistics all continue their merry climb .
