more cheap road surfaces!
Shaken, not stirred in the shakey city!

Yep, short-sightedness...
The argument "We haven't got enough people to afford to do it properly..." is wrong.
The truth is "We can not afford not to do it properly..."

What do Aussie use? Thay have hotter road surfaces & I can't recall seeing them melt.
I've never ridden a bike over there before, so can't say what they're like to ride on (only driven cars over there).

From what I recall the roads in aussie seemed to be a hell of a lot better than here
My posts look empty without a signature.
One, two free, floor!
Polarised glasses are really handy when riding for the simple reason that anything oily... LOOKS oily. That includes tar (especially soft tar) , diesel spills... etc

Oh hey it's always better than horse poo sealed road back in the 1800's
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

You mean, we spent too much money on buying four times more cones than we need, now we have no money to actually build the road to a good standard. But we're safe as while we're working.

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

Yet another challenge we face, the cooncil have started using a brown scoria chip up here & for some reason you cannot see the gravel, you hear it first. Be interesting to see if it suffers from tar melt the same as granite chip.
On a European tour a couple of years ago I travelled through the Benelux countrys in pi**ing rain. The motorway repairs are just tar, no chip so you end up being forced to ride on something as grippy as ice. Every time you hit the over banding, the back wheel lights up at 120kmh while you are riding blind & avoiding czech artics. It's not too bad here..

I am able to positively confirm, that whenever a pothole is filled in on a NZ road, that hole has to go and live on the Turkish roads.

Hate those rumble lines! Dont mind them on the double yellows but on the fog line is just dangerous. Sometimes the best lines are to the left of the fog line.

If I recall correctly, it offers more grip. It is quite popular at intersections (improves braking) and on high accident corners as a result.

The reason they chip the road is to seal it from water leaks so water dosen't get in and distroy the road base, it is ment to extent the road life about 10 years...
They just did it to our road in town in auckland and its CRAP....... F'n stones everywere , it was done 3 months ago now the stones with tar are all up our drive and are waling in on the deck and in house, there always stuck in the car tires and the kids always have tar on feet and all our shoes GRRRRR as the stones are all over the pavment too.
The corners are patchy and so is everwere where people brake...
What a wast of money doing it cheaply..

Alas, some visors really fuck with polarised sunnies... So unless you like the visual impression of being on an LSD trip combining the two is not ideal.

Just as well it never gets hot enough to melt tar in the Wellington region. And with this global cooling trend you'll be glad for the nasty chip roads as the concrete ones in Aus are a fucking nightmare in the ice.
