As a road user, I would be keeping left and regarding the "central roadway" as some bizarre overtaking lane.
What retarded fuckwit even contemplated this stupidity!?
Stay in the left lane and RUN DOWN any lycra wearing retard infesting it.
Fucking stupidity at it's finest.

Used to be a road out Grafton way that had a suicide lane. Namely: you could use the middle one to overtake either way.

It is Queenstown. 95% of the drivers that use it are from "Out of Town" ... and 80% percent of those are from "Out of the Country" ... and do not know the NZ road (roundabout) rules.
A large percentage of Kiwi drivers don't either ...

I just drove down Roto-O-Rangi rd this morning. Fucking joke. The cycle lane was wide enough for me to drive in. Not sure what signs were up when it was being trialed... But I would have driven in the cycle lane.
Also, the lane went about 300m like this, then back to normal road for 300m then back to another 300m of double cycle lane. Confusing as fuck, within 1km going from normal, to retarded, to normal, to retarded, to normal...
Just chugging along...
IIRC the Great South Road had three lanes marked on it - in the old days... also the Pakuranga-Howick Highway and parts of the Great North Road...
Grafton - as in Grafton NSW?
The bigger issue with the trial, was not the trial per se, but the total lack of edge marking lines - sometimes called 'fog-lines' - along either side of the road in the trial area... but then again, it is never foggy in the Waikato...

Pakuranga-Howick used to switch the middle lane morning / afternoon I think.IIRC the Great South Road had three lanes marked on it - in the old days... also the Pakuranga-Howick Highway and parts of the Great North Road...

Grafton as in Auckland. I think the road in question actually went under the Grafton Bridge, so you could select your mode of suicide without having to travel very far.

Used to flat just up the road from there in Panmure, worked well but very heavily sign posted and well lit overhead signs like motorway.
Just realised in Hastings we have similar road to the above cycle fiasco. Awhile back Norton rd lost its centre line and had two cycle lanes painted down either side. In the middle is not quite enough tarmac for two cars but better than the above mess. Its in a bad neighbourhood so very little cyclist use anyway....

Time for the funny blokes in white coats I think.
To take away the council fools and engineers who think that push bikes should have equal rights on a road built for motor vehicles.
If they want 1 in 100,000 citizens to be able to safely use a stretch of road on a puch bike. Put a cycle lane on the left, use motorway barrier blocks to cordon it off from the actual road and get on with it.
Does the expense and very real possibility of more motor accident deaths justify doing this sort of half arsed dumb as pig shit not even well planned or thought through project.
Push bikes don't pay we do, FUCK THEM! This is what these tossers are going to hear as their heads are bashed in by angry confused and scared motorists.
To all you bikers who did come to the original Bikoi, thanks, to those that didn't, witness the power of a bunch of faggots in lycra who get in their cars and drive to meetings about taking over NZ's roads for their exclusive use, by simply talking to their neighbours and friends, you know, politicians and councillors.
They got organised, they got smart, they got the public to take notice by making huge noises when one of them got run over by a truck, car or bus, have we?
Ah, nope.

Cagers are such whiney cunts.It's always"it's not fair,I have to stop for red lights wah wah".
Cyclist don't bother me.I have sufficient skills to avoid hitting them in my car and on my bike and if I have to slow down for 5 seconds my world won't end.

One day one of them will get the better of you with their antics, its their right to do the dumbest shit imaginable.
I was googling for fresh video after seeing some dumbarse activist cyclist stopped in the dark on one of our regions most dangerous bridges on Monday night, no lights and all. Bike in lane and leaning against rail and holding up some kind of camera filming traffic. I would have *555'd but left my phone at home going to training.
Anyway here's vid from awhile back of no less than a Doctor failing to give way to two cars and cycling straight into the path of what was then a 100km/h road. Part of a bigger wah wah about the regions roads for cyclists.
The activist on Monday night was stopped halfway across this bridge endangering other roadusers.

I ride a bicycle. I also pay two motorcycle regos and two vehicle regos, as well as my share of income tax, GST and the rest of it. Every cyclist I know also has at least one vehicle, not to mention paying all the general taxes which make up the vast bulk of road funding.
