🎇🚦Major road renovations on Rathgar Road and Universal Drive🚦🎇
Some major road renovations which will include a new set of traffic lights, is about to start at the intersection of Rathgar Road and Universal Drive. Also included a splat of red/orange paint similar to the mess they did in Glen Eden and the dreadful blue in Henderson.
All of this is due to start 4 July until the end September.
Good times ahead while 3 months of chaos & traffic jams will happen in winter along Universal Drive which is normally very busy, but will be slowed down so much now.
Rathgar has already been inundated with those dreadful speed bumps and now this.
I wonder when the carnage will start along Lincoln Road that they were talking about before all the lockdowns happened?
I wish we had traffic lights at the Parrs Road/Bruce McLaren Intersection as opposed to the silly round-a-bout which is already breaking up and is far too big for this narrow road.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.6% ... It is complicated
