Traffic held up unnecessarily

John from Dinsdale

I have noticed that at traffic light controlled intersections, nimble pedestrians cross quickly when their "person" turns green but long after they've gone, turning traffic is still held up by a red arrow.

I have noticed that at traffic light controlled intersections, nimble pedestrians cross quickly when their "person" turns green but long after they've gone, turning traffic is still held up by a red arrow.
Some of the 6 types of UK crossings hold the traffic up with a brief red light/arrow which quickly turns to flashing amber so drivers at their discretion can move as soon as they think it's safe ie when there are no pedestrians crossing. I think it's the Pelican crossing I like. The following link describes the 6 types. You may be amused by the Toucan (like the one at Ellicott/Avalon Dv) but we probably don't need many Pegasus crossings in Hamilton.

Traffic choke points in city

Matt Bowen Reporter from Waikato Times

Afternoon everyone,

Four Hamilton "choke points" are in the sights of a city councillor who says the traffic flow needs to be fixed.

And council experts agree that growth is putting more pressure on Hamilton roads than ever before.

Afternoon everyone,

Four Hamilton "choke points" are in the sights of a city councillor who says the traffic flow needs to be fixed.

And council experts agree that growth is putting more pressure on Hamilton roads than ever before.

Are there any intersections or roundabouts that really grind your gears? Also, are there any other traffic/driving/etiquette related gripes that you'd like to share?

We're hoping to get an idea of what really gets up the noses of city drivers.

NOTE: Add NFP to your comment if you do not want to be quoted in any follow up articles on the topic.

New pumps improve western water supply

The Team from Hamilton City Council

Just a heads-up that some homes in the Dinsdale/Nawton area may have some water pressure fluctuations in the next few days as we install new pumps at the Dinsdale reservoir. The work will improve consistency of supply for around 2000 homes, and we are replacing the two existing pumps with three, … View moreJust a heads-up that some homes in the Dinsdale/Nawton area may have some water pressure fluctuations in the next few days as we install new pumps at the Dinsdale reservoir. The work will improve consistency of supply for around 2000 homes, and we are replacing the two existing pumps with three, which means we will have better resilience in the network.

As we connect the new pumps to the network and flush the pipes there may be ‘sputtering’ of taps or the water may look a little cloudy as air works through the system.
