Trucks using Whitehills Road as thouroughfare

We live on Whitehills Road, Waitoki. This road is being used more and more by huge tricks as a thoroughfare between Kahikatea Flat Road and Waitoki Road. the issue at hand is that the trucks drive very fast, are very loud with the first trucks coming through at 6am and last truck finishes at 7pm - it is non-stop throughout the day. On some occasions trucks have been heard driving through from 4am! This is a rural road and there should be some respect for residents in the area. The noise is extreme and there is no peace and quiet during the day. There are also cyclists that use this road and there is a concern for their safety and other innocent drivers that use Whitehills Road. It also appears that the trucks speed up even more so when they go downhill.
