Estimated impact of changes in average speed on number of Small changes deaths and serious injuries in Tāmaki Makaurau in average speed change many lives -5 km/h 0 +5 km/h ‘Only a little bit over matters’ exceeding the speed limit by 3km/h is associated with a 25% increase in crash risk.
Almost half of seriously injured 50+ lives 50+ deaths drivers failed to brake pre-crash. and serious -5 +5 and serious injuries injuries/year saved/year km/h (10%) (10%) To achieve similar reductions through engineering improvements would cost more than $500M
Source: Estimated impact of average speed changes based on advice from Colin Brodie Consulting 2019. Original calculation assumed 120 rural DSI and 560 urban DSI with existing average speeds of 85 km/h rural and 55 km/h urban. Applied Elvik 2009 fatality and serious injury coefficients (10%/90%) to have rural coefficient of 0.036 and urban 0.021. Based on above, 5 km/hr reduction in operating speeds across the network would result in an overall reduction of 76 DSI (11%) and similar reductions through engineering improvements estimated to cost around $700-800M. Given DSI in Auckland has decreased since the original calculation, this has been conservatively applied to reach a lower minimum level of DSI change of 50. Facts on left hand side from Monash University, 2020, Enhanced Crash Investigation Study. Estimate of cost of engineering improvements is based on delivering 10 DSI/$100M.

Looking ahead on Vision Zero Policy and regulatory settings The current fine for going up to 10km over the speed limit is $30. Demerit points are currently only able to be issued on officer issued speed infringements. This means less than 1 in 8 speed infringements in Auckland in the past five years has included demerit points. What Aucklanders say
74% Support much higher fines for using a mobile phone while driving (Currently $80)
75% Support compulsory roadside testing of drivers for drug use
Agree the penalties for drinking and driving are not very severe even if you are caught 44% (Currently $200 and 50 demerit points for low level penalty)
44% Agree the penalties for not wearing a seat belt are not very severe even if you are caught (Currently $150)
81% Agree compulsory breath testing helps lower the road toll
89% Agree enforcing the use of seat belts helps lower the road toll
