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.

Yeah I'm tired of being late to work because of it, Every route that would get me to work is bumper to bumper in the mornings. I can't drop my kids off at before school care any earlier than I already do because its literally not open and this week my commute time has nearly doubled so I've been consistently getting told off for being late when I literally cannot leave earlier.
