The NZ transport agency Waka Kotahi has started public consultation over a new road in Northland, and already some of you are fuming. 

The proposed new stretch of motorway is between Warkworth and Te Hana, it’ll be the first section of the Northland Corridor and is considered a Road of National Significance. 

And to make it happen – it might need to be a toll road. 

Currently there are three toll roads in New Zealand, the Northern Gateway Toll Road north of Auckland, and in Tauranga the Eastern Link Toll Road and the Takitimu Drive Toll Road.

To explain what roads qualify for tolls and how the price is decided, Jesse is joined by NZTA National Manager of System Design Jess Andrew.
