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.

Churcher St is a long wide residential street that boarders a high school. Vehicles have a habit of speeding in excess of the required 50km/h down this street causing a safety risk to themselves, students, residents and their animals. Is there something to be done about the excess speeding of the cars? Lower speed limit? (I note there are no signs to reduce speed to 30km/h due to a school being present), speed bumps?

Updates

Issues with speeding in urban streets is a matter for the Police to investigate and manage. I would suggest the matter is reported to the Police and a request made for the issue to be investigated. The Police will do the necessary. There are rules in place on how to behave around schools, more so when there are students wandering in and out of the school yard The suggestions of a speed bump and extra signage would be investigated by the Council's Roading Department.
