    Just can't wait until it is completely finished.. When done I shall set the cruise control to 130 and just kick back and zoom zoom. And this clip really shows just how badly we Kiwis understand how to use motorways... Left lane unless passing keep the right lane free for overtaking..

      they need to put up the speed limit between the pukekohe exit and the end of the motorway in cambridge to 110 at least if not 120

    The new Hamilton Motorway bypass will be a great improvement!

    Waikato Expressway upgrade to Waikato Motorway?
    Beautiful road! When will they remove the 11 at grade access points between Mill Road (Bombay Interchange) to the Hampton Downs Interchange? When or if they do, that will be the final thing needed to upgrade the legal status of the ENTIRE Waikato Expressway to the Waikato Motorway! In order for that to be done though would cost probably $100 million to a quarter million to build some grade separated interchanges in place of the at grade access points and some lengths of parallel frontage roads to provide for property owners who used to have direct access to the expressway at the at grade access points! Then it would be totally safe to increase the speed limit to 120 or 130 Km/h. In line with the equivalent type of road way and similar speed limits in North AMERICA and European countries! It’s obvious the section of road from Hampton Downs south to the end at Cambridge is a safe design engineered road to handle 140km/h maximum like many freeways in North AMERICA and European countries! 130 or 120 would be conservative. Ohh one other thing for legal status requirement to upgrade to motorway standard is to get rid of cyclists and pedestrians.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇳🇿

    What’s the name and artist for the second tune that’s plays starting at 2:10 around Newmarket & ending at Takanini?? Tried to Shazam it and it gives the wrong tune ID.

      If you did this 100 plus km in under 30 mins you are one of two things full on lying or a certifiable fu..kwit who should be locked for both your own and public saftey. Yes I know the road spent a large portion of my working life driving it.
