Avenues community help to plan a safe connection between Shared Paths

The Team from Whangarei District Council

💡 The Kamo Shared Path and Raumanga Shared Path are quite close together - what if they could be connected up? This year we're making safety and layout improvements around Central Avenue and its side-streets to do just that.

We've incorporated local feedback in the plan, which includes dedicated vehicle turning-lanes into First, Second and Third Avenue, slightly narrowed street-entrances, traffic islands to help people cross Central Avenue, and street-lights on existing walkways. 🛴

The changes don't just improve the journey for kids, people pushing prams or riding bikes, they'll also make life easier for drivers. More details and a technical drawing available at the link below.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
