Firstly, motorists should learn to use roundabouts, and what the purpose of the roundabout is . Who else knows ? Another solution to traffic congestion should be to disallow tractors and agricultural equipment on major roads, especially at peak hour times, and how about motorists keeping stationary congestion gaps to 5 meters or less ( many leave a gap of 50 meters, and that increases the queue length )
wow misinformed

Both articles have mis informed comment there was no road closure Monday.Traffic volumes were less than normal that's why the trip was faster.back to normal volumes now and wait to see the gridlock week21st thru 25th
Apparently ( I am told).........

this morning's huge delays were mainly due to the guys trying to lay fibre cables. To be honest, until I win Lotto I won't be able to own a home anywhere between Katitkati and Tauranga. I count that as a blessing these days and I know MANY people who have recently bought/built/are building at Omokoroa are SERIOUSLY worried and some are indeed thinking of selling up or have begun the process.Oh and yep, once I've won Lotto I'll head down country a bit. :)

Was merely pointing out the irony of their signage.

The signs advertising delays is refering to the delay that is happening on Te Puna Station Road. They are only letting one or two cars at a time through to State highway 2.As for the build up of traffic on State highway 2...that happens most mornings, except during school holidays
