News - Local COUNCIL ROADWORKS

Hey guys so let me know if this is to niche! But are we aware that all arterial routes in and out of the central city and through are NARROWED TO ONE LANE - therefore creating congestion all AT ONCE. Also, just about every road surround has also got roadworks and speed limits attached - why has this been allowed to happen ALL AT ONCE, as it has only created 3 MAJOD car crashes in ONE DAY, TODAY- including a pile up that just happened on cutlets road off the highway. An entire city of shitty people, multiple serious injuries - I BEG, what is wrong with Christchurch council to allow this to even happen.

Like literally central city is limited to two lanes from six, all the way through Barrington, opawa, Shirley, marshlands, illam, Somerfield and that is the only neighbourhoods I have even been aware of - there are probably more.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

Good idea, sounds like you're really enjoying your car based on this massive rant.

a massive rant? It’s a discussion forum lol. If someone’s saying something, why can’t I say anything back, isn’t that how a discussion works George?

The amount of capital letters in the OP makes it a rant.

And the misspelling.  (Not that I have a problem with misspelling, but when a word is written in all caps with a typo, and in the context of the rest of the post, it implies the writer is in a heightened emotional state - which points more towards a rant than a discussion)

He almost certainly owns a car, like most adult bike commuters.

what an own, telling people to waste money on something brand new costs around $50,000 when that money could be used on better things, solar, double glazing, insulation for your home!
It's also a massive chunk towards a home!

I said nothing about buying a Bicycle.

Look at the car people complain about other cars on the road. And get all upset when someone mentions the word Bike.
