        <idAbs>&lt;p&gt;It contains the full detail layer of the extents for certified speed limit records from 26 May 2022 onwards, and their associated attribute data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Previously, 68 different road controlling authorities (RCAs) published this information in multiple formats.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can use the data for:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;time-based analysis&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;analysis against other datasets, for example addresses&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;building additional datasets.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The data is extracted from the NSLR on a nightly basis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New emergency speed limits are updated in this dataset shortly after being created in the NSLR.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Note: speed limit record geometries (shapefiles) will overlap. This will be in addition to overpasses, underpasses, intersections, bus lanes, opposing speed differences and multiple speeds in the same direction. For example, if you have an overpass one speed limit will be given for the top level (bridge) and the second overlapping geometry for the bottom level (I.e. road under bridge).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Permanent speed limit: A speed limit that’s in force except when a seasonal, variable, temporary - emergency or other temporary speed limit is in force.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Variable speed limit: A speed limit that changes under certain conditions (excluding seasonal), for example due to the presence of a school where the speed limit is different at certain times of the day depending on the school activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seasonal speed limit: A speed limit that applies on a seasonal basis, for example during a holiday period. Seasonal speed limits can be one-off or recurring.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Emergency speed limit: A speed limit put in place due to an emergency, for example an earthquake, tsunami or epidemic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The principles for how the speed limits interact with each other are as follows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Permanent and variable speed limits cannot overlap one another.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A seasonal speed limit can overlap permanent and variable speed limits.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A seasonal speed limit can overlap another seasonal speed limit, as long as the speed limit is not active at the same time as the record it is overlapping (i.e.one seasonal speed limit cannot overlap another seasonal speed limit).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;An emergency record can overlap a seasonal record but cannot overlap another emergency record.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Temporary speed limits, other than emergency, are not included in this dataset.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Members of the public can search for speed limits on New Zealand roads, obtain details of specific speed limits and obtain certified copies of speed limits through the NSLR web application. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='https://speedlimits.nzta.govt.nz/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'&gt;NSLR web browser application&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Data reuse caveats&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As per license.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Data quality statement&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;RCAs signed off that the data in the NSLR is a true and accurate reflection of their bylaw. There is a high level of confidence in data quality, and we welcome user feedback.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Data quality caveats&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The data has been migrated as provided by respective RCAs according to their current bylaw. There are errors as a result of having to migrate the legal speed limits as per the bylaw rather than what is signed on the ground. Many (but not all) of these were identified and RCAs can apply for Director’s approval to fix them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is two known issues with the display of this data in Open Data, these are display issues within the Open Data application and do not impact the data when downloaded or used via API:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Where there is no date 'December 31, 1969' is shown.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Where there is no text 'null' is shown&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</idAbs>
