Speeding awareness and road safety event at Big Boys Toys

Communications Team from Auckland Transport

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.

Special thanks to our sponsors:
