New Zealand currently has two toll roads; Takitimu Drive Toll Road (formerly called Route K) in Tauranga, which opened in 2003 and the Northern Gateway Toll Road bypassing Orewa, which opened in 2009. For the 12 years since it opened motorcycles using the Takitimu Drive Toll Road have always been free of charge along with mopeds and trailers, but the Northern Gateway Toll Road charges the same fare as cars. The Northern Gateway Motorcycle toll fare policy is about to be introduced to both Tauranga's Takitimu Drive Toll Road ($1.80) and to the about to be open in August; Tauranga Eastern Link Toll Road (State Highway 2) bypassing Te Puke ($2.00) when NZTA takes over ownership of these roads. This toll fare for motorcycles will be the same as the fare for cars and also light commercial vehicles. The introduction of tolls for motorcycles is disproportionate in every measure; 1: passenger carrying capacity, 2: tare weight of the vehicles, 3: damage caused to the road surface. We are not against paying our fair share for usage and like other motorists want to benefit from the time savings these toll roads offer, but these tolls for motorcycles are disproportionately high and present an unwarranted expense to motorcyclists. Now is the time to act, before the new toll is introduced; please sign this petition for the benefit of current and future motorcycle riders. If you agree with the above perspective please sign the petition, then either share the petition on Facebook or email it to your immediate friends. Now is the time to take action, before this toll is rolled out to all future NZ toll roads. If you live in an area without any toll roads, this will probably change in the future as it's an economical means for the government to fund new arterial bypasses. We urge you to sign now and not wish you had done at a later date. We insist that this unjust toll be amended before it is implemented in August.
