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.

“Cyclist Merging” sign but no roadworks affecting cycle lane (or road)

Westbound on Fendalton Rd there are gated “Extreme Care Cyclists Merging” signs outside St Barnabas church (Tui St). However, the cycle lane between here and Clyde Rd is not affected by any works – Clyde Rd is the end of the area covered by the TMP (#27784), and is about 500m down the road. Three other roadworks signs for this “worksite” have been either covered up or had the signs taken down (two before the Cyclist Merging signs and one after). Why hasn’t Traffic R Us (the temporary traffic management contractor) taken down the “Cyclists Merging” signs when they no longer apply (just like they’ve taken down or covered three other signs here)? Leaving signs that are no longer relevant up will just cause drivers (& cyclists) to stop paying attention to these types of signs in future.
