Auckland Transport's solution for illegally parked car transporters on Great North Rd
Hi neighbours. Auckland Transport has revealed some of its plans to "maximise the use of available space" on Great North Rd in Grey Lynn in attempt to stop car transporters loading and offloading vehicles on the roadside and flush median.
There are at least 15 car yards on Great North Rd, most of which don't have loading facilities on their properties.
Pedestrians have reported ramps being lowered on the road, cars being reversing into oncoming traffic, cyclists struggling to navigate around them and a transporter parked completely over the top of a pedestrian island.
The plans included incorporating loading zones for vehicles including car transporters, removing the flush median and installing speed tables (like elongated speed bumps) to manage speed.
Do you think this is an effective fix? Let us know in the comments.

GONE!!!
Leaving for work at 7:20 this morning 24.07.2024 probably half a sleep hadn't noticed that our 2017 Vulcan Trailer Rego 8Q721 had been stolen.
We work hard to make a living. I work with Stroke patients and the other guy's work in our mowing business. It has taken us years to build our business up and purchase equipment. But it just took a few seconds for someone take part of it away.
We were told that Lynfield was one of the best places to live by AA our insurer. Hmmm.
We reached out to our neighbours but never heard back apart from two. Not even to say no we didn't see anything and at least be friendly or slightly concerned. Because hey it might be you next and wouldn't you want some friendly neighbourly love if that should happen. It's bad enough that i already feel like a stranger in my own country. And scared to walk in my own street because people aren't friendly they just stare at you. I am actually a nice person. If you live in Halsey street say hello. Jules
