Taking a break...

FixMyStreet is going offline shortly, probably permanently. The software is old and needs a complete rewrite, the site is being bombarded by spammers, and it is debatable whether councils are receiving and/or acting on FixMyStreet reports.

As of now, it is not possible to post new issues, or updates to published issues.

If you have submitted on FixMyStreet, thank you for playing a part in one of Aotearoa/New Zealand's early civic tech projects.

Footpath blocked by roadworks sign (x2)

Footpath on Maffeys Rd (just above intersection with McCormacks Bay Rd) blocked in two places by roadworks signs. There is no footpath on the other side of the road, so pedestrians are forced onto the road to get around these signs (and the first sign is located just after the 180 degree bend leading to the bottom section of Maffeys Rd, so visibility to pedestrians on the road is limited). The road looks wide enough to put both signs on the road itself (although the 30 kph sign could be moved up the hill a bit and onto the end of the dirt section next to the footpath, putting it on the road would narrow the width and make drivers more likely to comply with the temporary speed limit). Alternatively, the “Roadworks” sign could be moved a couple of meters down the road onto the dirt area between footpath & retaining wall (or replaced with a taller Level 2 sign and put behind the barrier).
