Dom Kalasih: Transporting NZ Interim Chief Executive on the blanket speed limit reduction requirements being removed - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

The Transport Minister's hit the brakes on blanket speed limit reductions. 

Simeon Brown's removed requirements for Road Controlling Authorities to implement speed management plans. 

Work will begin to account for economic impacts, community views, and safety when setting speed limits. 

Transporting NZ Interim Chief Executive, Dom Kalasih, told Tim Dower that some limits are simply too low, losing credibility among drivers. 

He says the main issue with blanket reductions was that it wasn't risk-based.
