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.

Traffic light delay

The excessive delay between activating the cyclist crossing lights and the change of the lights means that many cyclists do not wait for the lights to change, but cross when the road is clear. This means that on many occasions the cars are stopped for a non-existent cyclist (since they are now steaming down the cyle path). Ideally, the lights should change almost straight away, causing minimal delay for the cyclists and not causing frustrating waits fo the drivers.
