Driving in the Waterview Tunnel
Oh how quick some people have chosen to forget, or maybe they didn't even bother with the rules from the beginning.
These people include someone from all groups on the roads, truck drivers, taxi drivers, all forms of cars, vans & 4 wheel drives and even motorbikes.
The few who seem to think that they are immune from the rules for driving in the tunnel, here is a refresher course for you.
1. NO SPEEDING! The speed limit is 80 (max) If there’s an incident the Tunnel Operators can change the speed limit via the variable message signs for safety reasons.
Unless it's peak hour traffic, that does not mean that you can do 50 or 60 or out of peak hour traffic 100 or 120!!!
2. KEEP YOUR LIGHTS ON!! While you are in the tunnel you must keep your lights on - as the signs tell you. You need to be seen early and not last minute. NOT ON HIGH BEAM!
3. NO CHANGING LANES!!! The solid white line means no over taking or switching lanes. Switching lanes can cause incidents and traffic jams. Plan your journey, get in to the correct lane early. If you are unsure which lane you need, keep the middle lane.
4. NO TAILGATING!! Keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.
5. DO NOT STOP!! You can’t Stop, U-turn or Reverse.
As always, the standard motorway rules apply.
6. Car issues? Move left or right
If your vehicle is breaking down or not working as it should, move in to the left or right lanes and avoid the middle lane if possible. Ensure your vehicle has sufficient fuel before entering the tunnel.
7. Dangerous Goods vehicles, vehicles over 4.3m high and vehicles carrying loose bulk loads aren’t allowed - find another route!
8. Follow the signs. They are there to inform you of any speed restrictions, which lane you need to use and other important information.
Drive to the conditions, drive safely and be considerate of other drivers around you.

TRANSFORM YOUR MASTER BEDROOM INTO A LUXURIOUS OASIS WITH THESE 7 DECOR ITEMS
Hi Neighbours,
Your master bedroom is your sanctuary – the ultimate escape from a long day’s work and stress.
But, have you ever felt like something was missing in your master bedroom décor?
That extra touch of luxury that elevates it from just another room to a space fit for royalty?
We’ve compiled a list of seven luxurious items that will transform your master bedroom into the oasis of your dreams.
To achieve a luxurious look in your master bedroom, several must-have items can elevate the overall decor.
Here are seven suggestions for your master bedroom decor and layout:
Statement Bedframe. Invest in a luxurious and visually striking bedframe as the centrepiece of your bedroom. Choose a design that complements your master bedroom decor and overall aesthetic, such as an upholstered headboard or a wooden frame, for a sleek and modern platform bed.
High-Quality Bedding. Opt for high-quality bedding materials like Tencel to add a touch of luxury and comfort. Choose soft and plush duvet covers, pillowcases, and sheets in neutral or rich colours to create a sophisticated look.
Plush Pillows and Throws. Add layers of comfort and style with plush pillows and cozy throws. Opt for bamboo gel, natural silk, or cotton pillows to create visual interest and enhance the luxurious ambience.
Mirrors. Introduce large, decorative mirrors or a dresser and mirror combo to reflect light and create the illusion of a more spacious room. Choose dresser and mirror combos with beautiful frames that match your overall master bedroom decor style.
Stylish Seating Area. If you have enough space, create a cozy seating area for your master bedroom decor and layout. Include a comfortable armchair or lift-powered recliner to suit your contemporary or traditional style. Use luxurious fabrics and textures for the upholstery, and consider adding a decorative accent pillow or a faux fur throw for added comfort.
Bedside Furniture. They help to give the room a more polished and finished look. When choosing end tables or nightstands for your master bedroom decor, look for ones made from high-quality materials such as solid NZ Pine.
Tallboy. This piece of furniture not only adds practical storage solutions but also provides an elegant and sophisticated look that enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of your room. Choose one made from solid NZ pine, engineered wood, or pine veneer.
Your master bedroom is your oasis away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
