NZTA Traffic Bulletin - Expect delays and detours on State Highway 5 in Rotorua this weekend

The team from Rotorua Lakes Council

People who use State Highway 5 Old Taupo Road can expect delays while resurfacing work is carried out on the road this Saturday.

The resurfacing will take place at three sites between Hillcrest Rd and Springfield Rd.

The NZ Transport Agency says detours will be in place but people should avoid the area or expect delays.

If the weather isn’t ideal on Saturday the work could be carried out Sunday.

Once the work is complete traffic management will remain in place to allow the sealing chip to bed in.

Motorists can get real time information from:
•0800 4 HIGHWAYS (0800 44 44 49)

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
