Speeding awareness and road safety event at Big Boys Toys
Auckland Transport, in partnership with NZ Police Serious Crash Unit, will be engaging with the public at the Big Boys Toys event on the road safety topic of speed and encouraging drivers to slow down and drive within the speed limits.
We’ll also be at the Milwaukee Action Arena where we will drop a car
from a crane at the height of 50-60 metres to demonstrate a head-on
car crash at speed. Dates and times are below:
Saturday, 11 November and Sunday, 12 November: 11am to 11.30am, 2pm to 2.30pm, 4.30pm to 5pm.
Auckland Transport encourages drivers no matter how skilled to check their speed and "Slow Down" to the legal speed limit.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
