flag Critics oppose a proposed toll on State Highway 1 in Northland, arguing it unfairly singles out the region for heavy fees while other major roads remain untolled. flag The plan charges $4.50 one way for light vehicles, potentially costing drivers up to $14.20 round trip, which business owners say will hurt the local economy and raise prices. flag While the NZ Transport Agency says the tolling model speeds up road construction and improves safety, opponents maintain tolls should not be the primary funding method for vital infrastructure.
