Poll: Proposed speed limit changes in Franklin
A controversial plan by Auckland Transport to slash speed limits on hundreds of Auckland roads has many motorists hot under the collar, but some locals welcome the news.
800 roads in Auckland and the surrounding region could see speed limit changes should the bylaw, that began consultation last month, go through. The new proposal would see the speed limit on Cape Hill Rd changed from 100kmh to 60kmh, with many other major rural roads in the region dropping to 80kmh.
What are your thoughts? Are you for or against the changes? Do you think speeds on our rural roads are a problem - or is it the underdeveloped roads that are the problem?
-
45% All for the proposed changes - our limits need reducing
-
55% The limits in Franklin are fine as they currently are

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
80.6% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.4% No. This would be impossible in practice.
