Ruakura Road closure - follow up

It was good to see that by Tuesday they had changed the green light cycles for traffic turning right from east Clyde street onto Wairere drive going north to around 8 seconds and 14 seconds. Still not long but a good improvement.

It was good to see that by Tuesday they had changed the green light cycles for traffic turning right from east Clyde street onto Wairere drive going north to around 8 seconds and 14 seconds. Still not long but a good improvement.
Now all they have to do is make the strip next to Clyde Park a 'no-parking' zone for the duration so cars that want to go straight ahead on Clyde street don't have to sit behind those waiting to turn right, thus reducing the queue for the traffic lights.
As a 'by the way' , most cars parked there belong to the police officers working out of the office across the road.

Well, on the first day of the Ruakura road closure, I have to applaud the Hamilton City Council traffic management in excelling once again in their incompetence.
On my usual bike ride to work at the Uni, it's 7:30am and the traffic for the Clyde Street traffic lights for Wairere drive (especially the right run onto Wairere Drive from the east), is already just about backed up all the way to Ruakura Road on Kingthon road from both directions, because the cycle is STILL set to about 3 seconds green followed by the second cycle about 8 seconds green!
It doesn't worry me, because I just bike past =). I just feel sorry for the people who need to get to work from the east.
It's going to be mayhem when peak hour arrives.

Well done HCC!!! You don't disappoint in getting just about everything wrong for the city.
