New Lynn up to the motorway... 10 to 15 minutes... cos no traffic at that time..Motorway 5 to 10 minutes...
I travel from Tat south to New lynn regular..

Rata Street on Sunday has the Sunday markets.. Heavy traffic..

What's wrong with the map I posted on Thursday??? Is it too confusing???

**crashe** · 18th June 2005, 22:18

Justsomeguy - Nothing..
Its just that Sutage is trying to get from Titirangi Rd up to westgate.. so thats why I have put up all the roads for him to get there...

No,Feint's right,I used to live not far from there on Croydon rd - just go down Titirangi rd,straight over the lights to Ash st,past Avondale race track,turn left down Rosebank rd and onto the NW at the end.That's one set of lights at New Lynn,one on Ash st,a free turn to Rosebank and one set halfway down.Keep it simple and flowing.

Motu... its shite getting past there on a sunday morning..
They have the Sunday markets there at the race course on every sunday...
I have gone throu there on the bike.... and its crazy traffic on sunday...
no one looks and cares..
Plus it will take him ages to get throu.

Best he goes the other way.... less stress before he has to do the course.

Under normal circumstances I would say go that way... but not on a sunday morning... it shite there from 6am til 12midday every sunday morning.

Good instructions Motu

I've PM'ed him - telling him to RIDE STRAIGHT ... and keep on the main road....and turn at the FIRST motorway sign he sees....till the end....turn left...and see us in 2 mins...

Luckily he lives off Titirangi rd... so hopefully it'll be simple.

Sutage - dude, how do you live in Titirangi and not know where the NW is??!?!?! how do you get to the city for one? Doesn't matter if it's not on the bike, in the car, anyone else drive you down there???

Oh yeah,sunday market at Avondale,I always had to go through that to go to speedway on sundays.It seems to be worse these days since they put in ''medium density'' housing where all that open ground was,it could park a lot of cars for free.And with so many Asians there now,they haven't got a clue on how or where to park and then just wander around the roads in a dream.Any day but sunday morning.

Motu - Yep it sure has got real bad...

Sometimes I go down that way without even thinking...
and then I go "FARK its sunday duh!"
It takes friggen ages to get throu it all now.

People park all over the place, over people's driveways.. up on the grass. verge. The Auckland City council parking warden is out there just about every sunday issueing tickets, but it dont seem to stop them (the drivers) from parking illegallly.

Driving throu it now is a nightmare. Even on the bike I have had one or two scares...
