When seconds count, it can save lives.
We’ve had recent examples where drivers completely ignore the Police vehicle behind them. Other drivers slow right down without safely pulling over, and delay Police from responding to emergency situations. Please help us by allowing our team to get to those in need, so we can save lives.
Top tips when an emergency services vehicle approaches with lights and sirens:
🚑 You are required by law to pull to the side of the road and stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
🚔 If the lights and siren of the Police vehicle continue past you, you can resume your journey.
🚒 Make sure you check the road is clear before moving on.

The real issue is not the seal on the top, which show up as 'pot holes', but more the foundations underneath. The foundations move under the weight and speed of the vehicles, which we see as cracks on the surface, which due to more heavy truck end up as being potholes.

The foundations move under the weight and speed of the vehicles, which we see as cracks on the surface, which due to more heavy truck end up as being potholes. Add a few rainfalls filling the cracks, Bingo!! potholes.
The foundation moving causes the top seal to crack and no amount of patching up potholes will work for any length of time as the surface now has a weakness. Eventually, the road has to be reconstructed with new foundations.
The GVT and councils expect to reseal the top layer as it will wear out, but once the foundation ceases to be solid, the top will continue to crack and potholes become a major problem for ratepayers.
Most of this is due to allowing Heavy Truck 20% heavier to use roads that were not built for them and using efficiency and cost savings to justify the change. This produced 'UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES'
The Gvt has to give Transport Companies a return on their investment $$$ for their political backing.
The GVT is now working on SPEED for more EFFICIENCIES and 'UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES' should not be unexpected this time.
"SPEED KILLs" so expect it to kill more even on motorways, especially Urban motorways.
This is my opinion backed up with obvious examples.

Smart bins automatically notify the Council as to the level of rubbish in these bins and yet it took five days and a visit to the council to get some action on the bin on Ernly Clark track after it was full to over flowing with a halo of rubbish surrounding it. Maybe the Council needs to hire some "Smart" employees to make this system work and justify the expenditure on this equipment.
