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.

cnr Harris & Neales Rd needs traffic lights and pedestrian crossing

1) An additional pedestrian crossing is required across Harris Rd, somewhere between Smales and Ti Rakau. This 2km stretch of 4-lane highway has nowhere to safely cross the road. 2) Traffic regularly backs up on Neales Rd trying to turn onto Harris rd. It is overflow from the heavily congested Smales/Harris intersection. 3) A decent controlled intersection here would help both these problems. ie. ease congestion at Smales/Harris, and provide a safe pedestrian crossing across Harris Rd. ** An alternative location for additional traffic lights/ped crossing would be cnr Crooks/Harris Rd.

Got called back by AT rep. Apparently there are not enough accidents or deaths at this intersection to justify adding traffic lights. Oh, and "why don't you use the median strip?" LOL! Go figure.
