    Push back against the Government's plan to scrap around the clock speed limits outside schools

    Push back against the Government's plan to scrap around the clock speed limits outside schools


    The Coalition's reversing speed limit reductions implemented over the past four years under the previous Government.

    The draft report wants speed limits in place at the start and end of each school day - as opposed to the current 24-7 system.

    Healthy Auckland Together spokesperson Jamie Hosking says kids are outside schools much more than just the first and last 30-minutes of the day.

    He says five out of six deaths and serious injuries that happen around schools, are outside those times, when the variable limits wouldn't be operating.
