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

Cycle lane northbound on Pound Rd at new intersection with Waterloo Rd has been coned off so more green sand can be put down on the cycle lane. Unfortunately, there is no advance warning that the cycle lane is closed (just a “Roadworks” sign) and that cyclists will need to merge into the general traffic lane. And if cyclists wanting to turn left follow the direction of the “Cyclists Use Ramp” sign, they can’t as the kerb cutdown/ramp is within the coned off area! The coned off cycle lane also extends around the corner, so westbound cyclists on Waterloo Rd are forced into the general traffic lane just as they leave the intersection (and where a raised median island constrains the lane width). Again, there is no advance warning on Waterloo Rd for road users approaching the intersection from the east.
