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.

Traffic lights on pedestrian crossing too slow to change

Once the pedestrian crossing button is pushed the wait is several minutes. (It seems even longer during busy traffic periods.) During that time most students just run across the road on the green (traffic) light. Then the lights change and cars are made to wait while there's no one left to cross.
