SH1 Tarewa Road intersection draft bylaw right turn ban
Earlier this year the NZ Transport Agency sought submissions on a proposed bylaw amendment banning the right turn movement onto SH1 from Tarewa Road. This morning I received the following update from NZTA:
20 submissions were received, 10 submissions supported banning the right turn from Tarewa Road onto SH1, 5 submissions did not support banning the right turn from Tarewa Road onto SH1.
The remaining 5 submissions did not state whether they supported or did not support the banning of the right turn from Tarewa Road onto SH1.
The removal of the right turn from Tarewa Road onto SH1 provides several important benefits, including:
• reduced turning conflicts at the intersection,
• better green time allocation for the primary traffic movements,
• the need for less land purchase,
• the need for a smaller bridge across the Raumanga Stream,
• improved traffic flow by providing a ‘no surprises’ environment for drivers on SH1 to reduce the crash rate and to provide a safe solution for all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.
The Agency considered all the submissions received and made the decision to proceed with banning vehicles turning right from Tarewa Road into State Highway 1. The Transport Agency will now proceed with the making and publishing in the Gazette the amendment to the New Zealand Transport Agency (Traffic Controls on State Highways) Bylaw 2017 to include a prohibition on vehicles turning to the right from Tarewa Road into State Highway 1 (Otaika Road).

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
