Waikanae intersection upgrades
š§Our friends at Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Wellington have let us know that they will be working on intersection upgrades in Waikanae over the next six weeks.
Upgrade work will be carried out Monday to Friday. Road users can expect minor delays, temporary speed restrictions, lane closures, and stop/go traffic management when travelling through these intersections.
As always please take care moving through worksites and thank you for your patience.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldnāt be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
