Query: Forward Planning!
Speaking of increased road traffic (especially North of UH) reminded me that when Timberlea was established as a new suburb (mid 1970's), it was recognised UH North was in for a growth spurt. Land was set aside (by Government I presume) for an Intermediate School and dairy (Norana Rd), a Secondary School (Emerald Hill stage one) and a Hospital (Emerald Hill Stage ? Timberlea end). All those areas are now housing! Oh and one school closed! Seems can't get access to highway so not sub divided yet.
Demand for services has grown but facilities remain the same. Hence more vehicles needed to transport to existing sites. More residential areas are popping up throughout the UH area, but where are the services?
Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
