Auckland Lantern Festival 2019 - plan your travel there!

Helen Shaw from

It’s Day Two of #LanternAKL19 and the first night with stalls, performances and all the fun activations! Road closures are in place and parking is very limited near the Domain, so we encourage you to plan your journey in advance via trains, cycling or walking.

Check out Auckland Transport's journey planner to find the best train options for you at.govt.nz/bus-train-ferry/journey-planner/

Take advantage of the secure bicycle parking at the event and bike on in.

Or take family and friends on a nice sunny stroll...

We'll see you there!

Re: Proposed roading upgrades Tamaki

Min from Point England

The proposed sounds good. But actually, it is neither environmentally friend nor good for our society.

First, each time before the bump cars have to reduce speed to less than 20 km/hr to make the movement smooth. Very slow speeds are especially necessary with age or unwell people inside the car. After the bump cars have to re-accelerate to keep going. This adds extra car emissions to our environment. A better solution would be to install traffic lights, an easier, safer and more efficient solution.

Secondly, slow snail movements associated with speed bumps upset people. Anxiety, Depression, anger is building up day-by-day. It will explode out at one point.

Therefore, I hope council can reconsider the impact of traffic flow restrictions on daily life, and don’t over increase the number of speed bumps.

When he got home, his clothes were soaking wet, but not a hair on his head was wet.
How was this possible?
