National's $31 billion transport spend

[nzoomed]

Of course Auckland has a toll road. I’d rather pay a toll and drive on safe 4 lane motorways than the crappy two lane death traps around the country

The roads aren't the only problem, it's the average poorly trained driver using them. I wish the govt would put some money into our driver licensing system rather than just blaming speed all the time. You can slow down a crappy driver or put them on a better quality road, and they'll still be a crappy driver.

But I digress.. that's a rant for a different thread.

Yup, I agree, all i see them doing is lowering speed limits everywhere and then installing speed cameras at each end to catch those entering the now low speed zone.
