Petition request
That the House of Representatives urge the Government to amend the National Fuel Response Plan to prohibit the enforcement of emergency open road speed limits unless physical or digital roadside signage is altered to match the legal limit.
Petition reason
Under Phase 4 of the Fuel Response Plan, the government can drop open road limits to 80km/h while leaving 100km/h signs standing to cut costs. NZ Police and NZTA warned this mismatch will cause mass driver confusion. I believe that enforcing a speed limit that directly contradicts official roadside infrastructure violates natural justice and creates an unfair legal trap for citizens. I believe that any nationwide change to driver liability must maintain transparent, honest signage.
