A suggestion the Government isn't doing its homework over proposed changes to speed limits across the country.

No cost-benefit analysis is planned as part of the major shake-up to speed limits.

Dropping speed limits by as much as 40 kilometres per hour in some places will slow freight movements and add extra costs.
