Expressways in New Zealand are high standard all-purpose roads, usually dual carriageway, mainly for through traffic with no restrictions.[3] Motorways in New Zealand are dual carriageway roads designed for efficient high volume motor vehicle traffic.Full motorway was completed in 2015 with the tolled section between Papamoa and Paengaroa opened to the public in August that year.The tolled section from Papamoa to Paengaroa now has speed limit for light vehicles of 110 kmph as of 11 December 2017 From Hawke's Bay Airport near Napier to Pakipaki, south of Hastings.[10][11] The section of the motorway between the southern terminus at Johnsonville and the interchange with the Transmission Gully Motorway forms part of SH 1, with the small 2.1 km (1.3 mi) section north of this point forming part of SH 59.[12] From Ngauranga to Te Aro, 7 km (4.3 mi) The Kāpiti Expressway is a four-lane grade-separated expressway, stretching 33 km (21 mi) from Mackays Crossing north of Paekākāriki to just north of Ōtaki on the Kapiti Coast.Officially opened on 30 March 2022,[15] from Mackays Crossing near Paekākāriki to the Johnsonville-Porirua Motorway in Linden, bypassing Centennial Highway.The section from Melling north to Silverstream is dual carriage with a mixture of at-grade and grade separated intersections.Lost its status as a motorway after plans to extend the original section (between Curletts Road and Barrington Street, which was built in the early 1980s) stalled.The section from Lookout Point at the southwestern end of Caversham, past the outer suburbs of Green Island, Abbotsford and Fairfield, to the intersection with SH 87 at Mosgiel, is classified as motorway.
