The Demise of Alexander Road
Not long ago Alexander Road, Trentham/Wallaceville was a quick way to get from Silverstream/Pinehaven to the Upper Hutt CBD and beyond: 80km and a straight road.
Then came a roundabout one third into it when heading north to slow things up.
But wait there is more to come just around the corner.
Soon there will be four traffic-slowing roundabouts and at least one T intersection. And with it the speed limit will surely be reduced to 60km or even 50km.
I suppose it won't get as gay as the times not all that long ago when a vehicle had to have a person walking in front of it as a safety measure.
