How to lift the standard? Sixty-dollar question. Maybe more unmarked police cars to get the idiots, and ongoing education for everyone else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-39774812616029860602014-08-04T19:45:42.647+10:002014-08-04T19:45:42.647+10:00By cycle spokesman Colin GilButt, when was he vote...By cycle spokesman Colin GilButt, when was he voted the spokes person for bicycle riders?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-81630933556077410942014-08-04T19:31:24.327+10:002014-08-04T19:31:24.327+10:00FFS Hillbilly watch!

Some idiot forgot to check how much room the busses need to turn and the turning circle is grossly inadequate (check the tyre marks on the edges). So apparently the buses now travel all the way through the intersection, so they can turn around.The super bright lights along the pedestrian crossing are super bright and ugly and look out of place.The whole place looks unfinished and badly designed. That's what you get when you divert funding that was earmarked for the project somewhere else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
