Waikato Expressway

The number one priority for the Waikato District is the completion of the Waikato Expressway, which when completed will provide a four-lane expressway extending south from the Auckland motorway to Cambridge.

The Expressway project will contribute to addressing the poor road safety record in the region, improve travel times and route efficiency for motorists, and address the problem of vehicles using secondary roads to bypass congested areas.

The AA Waikato District has advocated strongly for the Expressway to be extended from south of Cambridge to the Piarere intersection (and then on to Tirau in the longer term).

Safer roads and roadsides

The Council is committed to ensuring that every effort is made to improve the safety of the region's road network. This includes monitoring road and direction signage and ensuring that when road maintenance work is carried out it is done in a way that minimises the impact on road users and the finished project enhances safety.

Speed management

The AA Council is involved in providing feedback on territorial authorities' speed management changes including Hamilton City Council, Waikato District Council, Otorohanga District Council and Waipa District Council, as well as those put forward by NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi.
