Be interesting so see how much COVID affected the surrounding road numbers, given the connector opened just before all the COVID restrictions kicked in.Norman wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 10:14 amFor those interested, here are some updated daily traffic figures for the Northern Connector:

The Bolivar Rd on ramp had it's speed limit increased from 70 km/h to 90 km/h. This makes more sense as 70 always felt painfully slow given the length of the on ramp.
Hopefully they can bump up the speed limit for the last bit of the southbound stretch before the southern interchange - the change to 90 feels quite early, especially as the equivalent northbound lanes are at 110
