SPEC'IA L EXEMPTIONS. Wellington, March 16. As the result of a conference held in Wellington between representatives of the North and South Island Motor Unions and county councils and the Minister of Transport (the Rt. Hon. J. G Coates) and the Transport Department, the recently-gazetted speed limit of 40 miles an hour on gravel roads will be put into operation on all gravel roads with the exception of certain main arterial roads, which will be specially exempted after agreement between the Main Highways Board and county councils. The speed limit will apply only to gravel roads unless specially exempted, whereas permanentlysurfaced concrete roads, tar or bitumen roads and —if the Minister agrees —pumice and clay reacts will remain under the present regulations where the only consideration for the motorist is Iho safety of the public.
