    Nah, this is NZ. They'll bar motorcycles from toll roads.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    So now we have to pay again for all these idiots in the past who didn't plan properly and wasted money.

    I'm not surprised at all. It's just another form of tax.

    easy, just take the back roads into town and avoid the motorways unless you're going thru.

    Mayors want tolls on existing roads..


    Nope.
    Mayors need bending over and being rooted by a rutting rhino...

    They seem to forget that we (their boss and taxpayer) have ALREADY paid for these roads...

    The article is a bit confusing. They say "roads" but mention Transit. By roads they may mean tolling the city centre as they do in other countries. I thought Transit only looked after the motorways???

    What pisses me off about their thinking is that yet again they talk about the harbour bridge as being the major bottleneck. What bullshit. The major cause of the bottle neck is when 5 lanes condence down to 2 over Vic Park. You could build a 20 lane harbour bridge and you'd still have the same problem.

    Again it's just another form of taxation. Bring this is and I'll laugh in the faces of all the left wing do gooders that voted them in and complain about the tolls.

    Has anyone asked where all our road taxes have gone in the past?

    Yes... Your "road taxes" go in to the consolidated fund. I.e. the general government purse, and are mostly used to fund health, social security and education.

    Cheers.

    Like the central m'way junction project???

    We have been paying taxes since the '70's for this project and it has been sitting there - dormant and NOT being finished - no thanks to our politicians!

    I hear in Europe, particualy france you have to pay to use private roads.

    So if you want to go on the higway take a ticket where you get on and redem it when you get off and get charged per distance.

    I havent seen this first hand so can anyone verify this.

    Is this where we are heading??

    Exactly! It still amazes me that on so many parts of the motorway around Auckland, they think that they add traffic to the flow from on-ramp after on-ramp, while maintaining, or in parts, reducing the same number of lanes...it was never going to work, so why the @%^& did they build it that way? Short-sighted pricks.

    You mean the two lanes that run between the 3 lanes of stopped cars during rush hour?

    Some things I wonder about...
    Why did they spend all that money on the new Nelson St off ramp to change it from the right to the left side of the motorway?
    If any one knows, please tell me.
    And why do car lanes have cats eyes down either side but bike lanes have them down the centre?
    And why is dyslexic so hard to spell?
    We all have our little obsessions...
