War On The Pavement
What will become of E Scooters?
Three things can happen in NZ:
A total ban
Allowed on pavements at a max speed of 10km.
Allowed only on cycle lanes.
Our pavements (footpaths) are becoming a war zone.
Normal bicycles are illegal to be ridden on pavements but are.
Wheelie Bins can clog up space.
kids and others on normal scooters often use pavements at "racing" speed.
Skate boards are used on the pavement mostly at a fast clip.
Then we have the "normal" usage - pedestrians, joggers, people with prams/buggies, people walking dogs, disabled people in wheelchairs or electric chairs, people who are intoxicated. Pedestrians come in all ages and abilities - some idle, some might (have to) veer right or left. Dogs on leashes and children might take a sudden lurch right or left.
Some people want cyclists aged up to 12 and even beyond to use the pavements as of right.
People and dogs getting injured - seriously or minor on our pavements is growing at a alarming rate.
There is a war going on with footpath usage no longer just for foot traffic.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated
