Coromandel : Perceptual countermeasures

**tmz_99** · 28th October 2016, 16:50

Hi guys,
I'm doing a write up on the perceptual countermeasures (funny paint and bollards) that they've installed in the Corramandel for www.theallriders.com .
These ones: http://www.nzta.govt.nz/safety/drivi...os-and-videos/
As such I'd be interested to hear from anyone who regularly uses this and has some thoughts on how this has changed (if it has changed) safety in the region.
Feel free to PM me if not comfortable to discuss this on a public forum..

Cheeeeeeers!

Interesting road marking. Looks good. Reckon he could have upped the pace too

I'd guess it's far better for people that outride their ability & can't seem to ride to the conditions & stay on the black stuff.
That road never hurt me in the thirty years I rode it before the "improvements"
Pandering to fuckwits in short.
They should have just made it straight so Aucklanders could handle it without binning.

on this, bob and I can agree.

Now if there was only a way to stop people with four wheels from crossing the centreline when going around the corners...

Where the fuck is this?

Coromandel is a township, Coromandel Peninsula is a district and Corramandel does not exist

Guy on the vid has average lines and needs to learn that grip on the right makes the bike go faster.

Maybe he doesn't want to go faster because he's not a fucking knob and wants to stay at a speed he's comfortable with instead of being a tryhard wannabe and becoming another crash statistic
