Subject: Official Information request - Ohau to Manakau Pseudoreversal

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

I'd like to know why the speed limit from ohau to manakau is 80
temporarily with insufficient works to justify the temporary limit. This
speed limit is at best unlawful and realistically illegal and likely a
shuffle towards a review and going back on promised speed increases.

 

Furthermore id like the TMP that validates this speed limit and any
supplementary decision making info. Matched against the criteria for a
temporary limit.

Dear Official Correspondence,

 

I would like to withdraw this request. Having seen the surveys going on
its clearly a preamble to permanently lowering the speed. I think you
should be more transparent with these things instead of squeezing through
phoney or questionable at best temporary limits. Thirty years as a safety
engineer, and this is some of the most blatant nonsense yet.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Simon Bridges
