Where the crashes happened
The blue line is the official Auckland Transport speed-change geometry for this section. Each dot is a crash that CAS places on the treated road; colours show which speed-limit period it fell in. Larger red-ringed dots are crashes in which someone died or was seriously injured.

What the monthly record shows
Adjusted for Auckland-wide traffic trends, the observed crash rate was 49% lower while the lower limit applied (compared with before), and 19% higher after the limit went back up (compared with the lower-limit period). Single-road counts are noisy, so read this alongside the pooled estimate on the corridor results page.

This road’s own model estimates
A segmented Poisson time-series model fitted to this road alone, with terms for the underlying trend and for level changes at the lowering and the raising. Confidence intervals on a single road are wide; the pooled 24-corridor models are the headline evidence.

Crash records are complete to 30 April 2026 (later months are still filling in), so the after-raising period is still short. Estimates for this single road will firm up as more months accumulate; the full method, sensitivity checks and audit files are on the main report page.
