Dunedin's dramatic rethink for one-way highway system

Dunedin one-way roading system may be changed to accommodate the city’s new hospital and an upgrade of the CBD.

Dunedin one-way roading system may be changed to accommodate the city’s new hospital and an upgrade of the CBD.

The plan proposes changing the city’s current one-way southbound route into a two-way route with minimal parking, and turning the current northbound route into a two-way local road, with the main cycleway moved to the local road outside the hospital.

An alternative route along the harbour – bypassing the city centre – could be improved to help ease congestion. The route would effectively avoid the new hospital during and after its construction.

What do you think of the proposed changes? Read the full story here and tell us what you think in the comments below.

The snow came from a “weather bomb” or “bomb cyclone”, which brought spring snow to parts of the South Island.

The regions hardest hit by Covid-19 are among New Zealand's most beautiful

The lengthening lines outside Fergburger might suggest otherwise, but New Zealand’s tourism sector is still in fight-for-survival mode.

The lengthening lines outside Fergburger might suggest otherwise, but New Zealand’s tourism sector is still in fight-for-survival mode.

The hardest hit regions of Fiordland, the West Coast, Queenstown and Dunedin – where spend was down 22 per cent, 20 per cent, 18 per cent and 17 per cent respectively (according to MBIE data) – are also among our most beautiful.

The problem is not that no-one wants to visit them, but that they relied heavily on overseas visitors or tourism in general before the Covid-19 pandemic struck. Even with the domestic tourists they’ve welcomed since the nationwide lockdown ended, they’re still in dire straits.

Pay them a visit on your next break and you’ll be doing them a favour they’ll repay you for many times over in terms of the adventures they offer. Of course it helps that they are all offering some pretty exceptional deals.
