Now I would be the first to agree that the blanket 100 limit on rural roads is no longer appropriate for a whole variety of reasons. But the rationale for some of the 80 and 60 limits set by AT is difficult to understand. I seriously doubt that anyone suitably qualified actually drove on the roads and properly assessed what was a safe speed.
One example is the 60 and 80 limits from Drury to Waiuku. No problem with SH22 to Paerata given the heavy traffic on this section, but is none of the road past there safe for 100 hm/h?
Some councils have done a reasonable job, eg Waipa District Council. But, as I've previously said, generally it's a mess.
