Speed limits
This is just a general question to anyone who may know the answer, cause I'm curious!
I have often wondered what the word "TEMPORARY" means to the national roading body of NZ. Often "Temporary" appears to means years in some cases I have seen in the past, even without roadworks. But today, unless I'm going mad (which is a possibility!), the permanent 50Km speed limit, which has been in place for decades, through the town of Kaiwaka in Northland, has become "Temporary"! And I mean the 50km bit past the hotel and such, not the 70Km section south of that. So any answers NZ?
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
