speed limit signs

Steve from Waitaki District

isn't it about time the government looked into the practice of roading crews placing 30kph signs on the state highways. They seem to put them in place at the start and end of a days work. Regularly about a 2 kilometer stretch at a time. Oh for the days of the Ministry of Works. at least they would only have 70kph speed limits for the area that they were immediately working on and would uplift them when not working.
Isn't it illegal to leave signs up when not physically working on the road, unless no white lines repainted..
I see there are 70kph signs at the approach to the Waitaki river bridge.the so called patch on the road is no worse than the rest of SH1.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
