HUMP OVERKILL
Palmer Crescent in Hetetaunga is a street with problems manufactured by the UHCC.
A few years ago the road was resealed to such a poor degree that the surface was worse after the resealing than prior. Some improvement was eventually made - but only to part of the road.
Now there was a decision to place road humps along the road in an effort to slow traffic - not that I have ever witnessed an issue of undue speed by traffic nor any overload of traffic despite a school sited at the northern entrance to the road.
Not just one or two humps have been laid but five.
It's just patently ridiculous and if Palmer Crescent needs all these humps to slow traffic to 15-20kph, what's to stop road humps emerging in a majority of streets in Upper Hutt apart from financial considerations. Luckily the UHCC has put up rates to pay for the Palmer Cres project.
