Traffic chaos comes to Petone with Kmart opening. Have you been stuck in the gridlock? What are your thoughts?
Hi everyone, thanks for your contributions and a great discussion! Comments on this topic are now closed.
At 6pm on a cold, wet Queen's Birthday Monday, traffic near Kmart Petone is backed up in all directions. We had a fair bit of congestion over the weekend and business owners have been frustrated over the traffic levels. Is this the new normal? Were you caught in the traffic and what do you think about it? How do we fix it? Comments may be used in print unless stated otherwise with NFP (Not For Print)
