Cops on Ponsonby Road

[Grahameeboy]

For those in Auckland you will know that the speed limit was reduced from 50kph to 40kph earlier in the year.

Today, hardly a car on the road but there were 2 highway cops on patrol.

I know the speed limit is 40kph, however, this has to be a classic case of revenue collection which I normally don't debate about....the cops know that people still do 50kph...which to be fair is still not a dangerous pace (and was obviously acceptable for years before)...they know a quiet road will lull people into doing more than 40kph...

The thing with Ponsonby Road is that it was the idiots who failed to give way or swapped lanes etc...that were the problem and it has never been a fast road because there are loads of traffic lights to slow things down.

Anyway, just watch out if you have to use Ponsonby Road

Being Auckland and more particularly Ponsonby road I would say the former, so mince along carefully.

Which part of Ponsonby Road has been reduced to 40km/h? I'm guessing near the cafe's etc I used to live there in the early nineties, then saw the light and moved back to the mainland
