Update on the Archers Rd/Coronation Rd intersection
Preliminary work at the Archers Rd/Coronation Rd intersection has finished and the new roundabout will be built in either early-March or during the April school holidays (dates to be confirmed). When that happens, the intersection will be closed for up to 8 days for construction.
In the meantime, you may have noticed that roundabout signs have been installed at the intersection, and that the Stop sign at the top of Archers Rd has been changed to a Give Way sign.
This is because a painted roundabout will be installed tonight (weather permitting), similar to what we've had at the Ocean View Rd/Northcote Rd intersection recently. This is a temporary measure until the real roundabout is built. Please treat it like a real roundabout.
NOTE: Photo taken before the new roundabout signs were installed.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
