Re: Proposed roading upgrades Tamaki
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
