With Road Safety Week kicking off today, 12 May, Auckland Transport has revealed plans to increase speed limits on several local streets.

For Coasties, this could mean changes to familiar routes, including those closer to home.

Using Auckland Transport's interactive map, locals can check if speed limits will rise in their neighbourhoods.

These changes are designed to improve traffic flow, but they also come with added responsibilities.

As always, keeping our roads safe is a shared effort.

Road Safety Week is a timely reminder of the importance of safe driving.

With more cars on the road, it’s crucial that drivers adjust to any new limits and stay vigilant.

Let’s remember, slower streets help maintain the safety and well-being of our communities.

You can find the full map of upcoming changes on the Auckland Transport website.
