The Government needs to deliver on its promise for safer roads, a reader says. Photo / File
After yet another tragic weekend on New Zealand - and in particular on Waikato and Bay of Plenty - roads it time for this Government to change its approach and deliver on roading matters.
Building new bus lanes along with cycle lanes is obviously not working, and with
additional cars on the roads each week, what is required are newer and safer roads as has been proven with the Eastern Arterial and also the Waikato Expressway.
Where are the Fix our Bloody Road campaigners, in respect to the Northern Arterial road, as they were very vocal until the Government announced that they would reinstate a two-lane road but failed to announce when work on this inferior road would actually commence?
In a self-proclaimed year of delivery its time that this Government delivered on safer roads so that we do not experience more horrific weekends like the one that we have just had.
