Proposed speed changes.
The justification for the increase from 100 to 110kph from Rolleston to Curletts rd is mostly around improving efficiency.
I assumed, (yes, a very dangerous thing to do), that this was meaning that Trucks would increase in speed as well, which would have been a safety issue for me, but was the only logical reason for justifying the change on efficiency grounds.
However, a section off the Gvt site says "The 90km/h speed limit for heavy vehicles and towing vehicles applies on 110km/h roads. Where there are two lanes in each direction, other drivers can safely and easily pass slower-moving vehicles"
If the trucks can not speed up, how are efficiencies going to be made when only smaller vehicles, that can save 2 mins on each trip and Trucks zero?
Am I missing something?

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
