Saw that in the paper.

Wow some common sense from the NZTA maybe!

70km/h on the open road is just dangerous, especially for learners.

Yes that is correct.Came into effect 1st of October (ie, last month).

Motorbikes can also now use bus priority signals when in bus lanes so that we don't hold up buses.

if you do not have bus lane you can use foot path

Motorcycles are permitted to use Bus Lanes (unless there is a sign specifically excluding them), this has always been the case.

Before the first of October however, if a motorbike was in the bus lane at a set of lights and the B signal came on, they were not permitted to move even though it held up the bus behind them.

On the 1st of October this changed and now Motorcycles when in the bus lane can go on the B signal.
