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.

I was crossing Domain drive about the spot half way along where the bus would be in this old photograph and a car stopped going towards Park Road on the other side of Domain Drive wanting me to walk in front of him, I yelled out “THIS IS A GIVEWAY NOT A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING, LEARN YOUR RODE CODE – IDIOT!!” he said “CFOYUU “ [these letters have been put in alphabetical order to make it socially more acceptable] in his foreign accent, so I walked behind him, and all I heard as I walked away all was “CFOYUU “ “CFOYUU “ “CFOYUU “ it was a good four times maybe five or six. I had to change my walking direction in-case he decided he want to punch my lights out in case he waited for me on the other side of the park. When are motorist going to get their crap together and learn a three sided triangle means "give way" at a T road junction, motorist give way to other motorist not pedestrians. Four sided diamond shape is needed as motorist before a pedestrian crossing this is when motorist give way to pedestrians. Anyway it was good fun I will have to repeat it tomorrow if I get another motorist poked in the head.
