Number of crashes in the last five yearsNZTA Crash Analysis System
Estimated reduction in the number of crashes each yearCalculated using the NZTA Optional Cost Impact Analysis Tool
Current average operating speedTomTom traffic data
Estimated average operating speed when new speed limit is in placeCalculated using the NZTA Optional Cost Impact Analysis Tool
Estimated impact on individual travel timeCalculated using the NZTA Optional Cost Impact Analysis Tool
Estimated impact on collective travel times Calculated using the NZTA Optional Cost Impact Analysis Tool


Additional notes:

  • The estimated impacts in the cost benefit disclosure statement are based on the assumption of no growth in daily traffic volumes.
  • The implementation cost reflects the cost of installing speed limit signs around the edge of each speed limit zone.
