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.

Morning Traffic

Attached picture shows where I am - gold star. If traffic heading south-east on Lincoln St towards the Rifle Range Rd roundabout is queued back as far as the Caltex exit opposite that's very unscientifically "a traffic jam".

Mon, Tue and Wed this week dry and sunny.
Monday - no 8am jam but school traffic jam from 0830 until 0845 and for less than a minute actually stationary at 0835 but mostly moving slowly.

Tues and Wed - no 8am or school traffic jam at all.

Next week shows rain every day - will repeat the exercise next Mon, Tue, Wed and report back.

There were queues the other way for Forest Lake but that's another story.
