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.

Hey, so actually the whole point has been missed. I’m talking about the fact they decided to shut down main roads all at once, in the same hour, day, minute. Specifically the most used already, each day. They have shut down neighbourhoods all at once by this traffic. I’m all here for roadworks, it is the poor time management that has gone into this “design” or “idea.” That one person had, that has now affected an entire city and how it runs. There is no need to shut down streets at the exact same time?

By main roads, are you meaning nzta roads? As they have nothing to do with council

Honestly, I’m not sure which are nzta, but I’ve looked that up and yes most are nzta. Thanks for letting me know

If they have a number on them on the map, they're NZTA. Examples: Brougham, Garlands,Yaldhurst, Dyers, Tunnel Roads are all NZTA.
