New crossing at Killarney Rd ready for action
Pedestrians and people on bikes using the Western Rail Trail shared path will be able to use a new signalised crossing on Killarney Road from Monday morning. The crossing point has had a Stop/Go operation in place in recent weeks while the signals have been integrated with the KiwiRail crossing, but this work has now been completed. Traffic signals will indicate when pedestrians or people on bikes are crossing and railway signals and barrier arms will be used to alert for trains. Motorists are reminded to stop on red lights to allow pedestrians to cross, and not to park on the rail lines, even if no train has been signalled. The work completes the crossing points for the Western Rail Trail, one of the key projects in Hamilton’s Biking Plan.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
