Traffic held up unnecessarily
I have noticed that at traffic light controlled intersections, nimble pedestrians cross quickly when their "person" turns green but long after they've gone, turning traffic is still held up by a red arrow.
Some of the 6 types of UK crossings hold the traffic up with a brief red light/arrow which quickly turns to flashing amber so drivers at their discretion can move as soon as they think it's safe ie when there are no pedestrians crossing. I think it's the Pelican crossing I like. The following link describes the 6 types. You may be amused by the Toucan (like the one at Ellicott/Avalon Dv) but we probably don't need many Pegasus crossings in Hamilton.

On Tuesday, the Waikato Times revealed Waikato Thoroughbred Racing’s (WTR) plans to buy 150ha of farmland south of Hamilton to house the region’s three racing clubs at a new purpose-built racecourse and event centre.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
