NZTA to change Maungatapu roundabout/underpass traffic trial
The NZ Transport Agency is making a small change to the Maungatapu roundabout traffic trial.
From today -traffic lights at the State Highway 29A Turret Rd on-ramp will be covered to allow free flow onto Turret Rd - and towards Maungatapu or Baypark - for traffic coming from the Tauriko/Ohauiti/Hairini direction.
Citybound traffic from Maungatapu and Baypark will continue to be directed to Turret Rd via the underpass. The Hairini St exit onto Turret Rd will remain a bus-only lane.
The 10-day trial, in operation from 6am to 10am each day, is due to finish on Friday.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
