Electric cars to get motorway priority

Electric cars could use priority lanes on Auckland motorways as part of a trial proposed by the New Zealand Transport Agency.

The cars, including hybrids, would also be able to access other restricted roads, like bus lanes, Radio New Zealand reports.

The trial would take place over two weeks in March, on six T2 and truck lanes that bypass on-ramp traffic lights.
A sticker would identify the cars during the trial.

Submissions on the draft bylaw close on January 13.
