Other than the very narrow section after Taupo there is no reason for that road not to be 100kph.

This country is going to shit slowly but surely.

Money and the saving of it, very few of these reduced speed limits that are coming in all around the place are about safety. It's about the lack of investment in our roads which is making them unsafe. They don't have the money to maintain the roads at the current speed limit so its cheaper and easier to just reduce it.
