Bus and truck operators are adding their voices to criticism of road changes between Bell Block and Brixton. They fear the temporary barriers have made State Highway 3 dangerously narrow on the hill near the Bell Block based New Plymouth Airport. Last week, passing lanes were closed and the speed limit was reduced on State Highway 3 to combat road accidents over the summer months. The speed reduction and closure of the passing lanes between Bell Block and Waitara have caused a stir over the past week. However, many people support the 80kmh speed limit, with many people suggesting it should be the limit the entire way to Waitara.
