New Traffic Roundabout in Alexandra Road

John from Silverstream

With all the comments recently regarding the impact on road design in crash reduction I wonder what is the rational behind the placement of the second roundabout in Alexandra Road, Trentham.

It appears to be there solely for the entrance to a new subdivision, such entrance could well be seerved by a "T" intersection with maybe a giveway or stop sign.
To place a rondabout on a curve with limited visibility in a road with an 80K limit simply for access seems an invitastion for disaster.
If I were a betting person I would back the Police having to attend a serious crash at this point within the next twelve months.
Is there another reason for this road hazard?

Poll: Saving our heritage buildings

Matt Tso Reporter from The Hutt News

Petone's historic Oddfellows Hall had no legal protection when it was bowled over by a developer late last year. Do you think the council needs to do more to recognise and protect the Hutt's old buildings?
