Here's some pic from the live webcams this morning.

Seems alot of Wellingtonians are still at church......:innocent:

Good to see some revenue being generated in pic#1. :rofl:

Did you notice all the vehicles in the Auckland shot were arriving from the south?

Didn't anyone tell you to flee town cos Wellywood is about to sink into the sea?

Bad luck old bean.

They're just running from the otie rock throwers.

And in Christchurch the streets are quiet, save for a GSXR and it's pilot heading to work breaking the silence on one wheel.

[James Deuce]

It is just beautiful today.

The calm before the storm......

shit nice roads in wellington........ for zero cars..... I guess politicians make sure their own is all looked after.:nono:

Old Hubbard in Auckland says to move parliment to Auckland ....... then all the traffic woes would be fixed in 5 minutes.....:yes:

[Str8 Jacket]

I hate to burst your bubble Jim but there was a shite load of traffic in and around town. I went for a walk around the bay's today and when I came up to Oriental Parade the whole road was congested with vehicles right up Kent Terrace and down Courtenay Pl. Fuck some people are inconsiderate when there behind the wheel....

Keep those inbred wankers out of Auckland.
We have enough on Ponsonby Rd without those benders there as well.

Most politicans LIVE in Auckland... Is that where they get their shitty roading ideas from?

[The Beast]

head for the hills.


White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes killed our creed
He took our game for his own need

We fought him hard we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came too much for Cree
Oh will we ever be set free?

Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom the stab in the back
Women and children are cowards attack

Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives

Soldier blue in the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Indians are tame
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old

Run to the hills, run for your lives

How come wellingtonials never mention the 30km of bumper to bumper stationary cars to and from porirua every day.
That is much worse than Auckland's situation surely?

[Skunk]

It's not stationary; it moves. And at around 60kph too.

[Dafe]

Coz it ain't worth mentioning. It may be bumper to bumper at peak hour, but only from Glenside to Wellington. It takes an extra 10-15 minutes in the rush hour to get to/from work.

Roads were great for riding today. I noticed the pic certainly shows the way it was on the motorways this morning.

Every time I have been through there - 6 or 7 only - it has been a complete shit fight. But every time.

[Fatjim]

I'm from the Hutt so I can't speak from experience but the new roundabout and the price of petrol have really reduced the traffic up there from what I've been told. The problems now the railway crossing south of Pram, which is nearly sorted.

[Madness]

Auckland's traffic woes are primarily due to increased volumes in an outdated infrastructure. Wellington's problems are often due to physical geographical features. A level crossing on SH1 McKay's, a steep gradient in the gorge, the crumbling cliff-face on the fault-line that is SH2, More traffic lights on SH2 through the Hutt that any Aucklander could shake a stick at, the Wainui Hill, and River Road with it's ice prone river crossing.

Having lived and commuted in both cities and despite the above, I'm glad I live in Welly.:doobey:

[Lou Girardin]

I'm glad I ride a bike.
Bike commuting means never having to say gridlock.

[crazybigal]

whats Auck city like on the weekends? dont even bother with wellington city on a weekend! seems like there is nothing to do but drive your stupid car around town in wellington!, worse that a weekday rainy rush hour. Mind you i found riding in Auckland was a death wish! dont people know what the funny little orange lights are for on the back of their cars? or do they not have those in asia?

The main road from my part of the shore to Auckland is as nearly bad on Saturdays as in peak periods. All those soccer mums I guess.

Because Wellingtonians have to constantly make excuses for their existence, when in reality, it's just a little village acting as a gateway to the SI. Take away the ferry terminals and it would self implode.

Lord Auckland didn't want his city full of politicians so he disposed of them and sent them to Wellington. Serves them right.
