Railway Crossing Creating Multiple Pile-ups

Michael from Trentham

The railway crossing just south of the Upper Hutt Railway Station is creating long queues of cars more often through the day than ever previously - and it is just going to get worse and worse. It is the biggest traffic snarl in Upper Hutt.

To compound the problem it is preceded closely by a roundabout on its eastern side and this is also increasing in traffic from all sides so that vehicles are piling up on all four sides when traffic is halted because of trains which maybe minutes from actually passing through the crossing. Vehicles going through the motions of travelling around the roundabout simply prevent other traffic from moving on even if they are not heading to the railway crossing.

Trains have become more frequent and the promise is that frequency will increase too through the double tracks so very soon to be operational and the increase usage of public transport.

This railway crossing needs to be replaced by either an overhead traffic bridge or an underpass. Let's make it urgent so that it actually starts to happen within the next 5 years.
