Do you approve of this roundabout-to-traffic-light switch?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

A pinch-point roundabout in Hillcrest, Hamilton, is being replaced with traffic lights in a bid to improve traffic flow.

It's the intersection of State Highway 1C Cobham Drive and Cambridge Road and work will start on January 4 2023.

It's expected to take about six months, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency said.

“The current roundabout is a pinch point for Hamilton, particularly for people travelling between the central city and Cambridge, and with increasing traffic volumes and flows, it is no longer fit for purpose,” regional manager for infrastructure delivery Jo Wilton said.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Reckless dirt bike riders on the streets of Hamilton have prompted police to issue a public safety warning and an appeal for witnesses.

They have observed a growing number of incidents involving dirt bikes being ridden in an unsafe and dangerous manner around the city, said Senior Sergeant Scott McKenzie, Hamilton area manager for youth and community.
