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.

Roadworks dangerous for cyclists

Traffic Wise have coned off the eastbound cycle lane on Prestons Rd at the intersection with Bluestone Dr. Unfortunately there is no advance warning of this closure, which forces cyclists out into the general traffic lane. To make the situation more dangerous, there is a pedestrian island in the middle of the road at this location, so vehicles have no space to safely manoeuvre around cyclists. At a minimum, an “Extreme Care Cyclists Merging” sign would alert approaching road users of the hazard ahead.
