Double doughnut revenue trap!

2 things....

Do you think the residents of that area may have complained about the speed of vehicles?

What is the crash history of that piece of road, or are you just whinging from a position of ignorance?

3 Things:

1. There are no residents in that area, it is as I said an open piece of state highway for maybe 10k!

2. Crash history for that empty piece of road would be about erm..none a year! Can't confirm that but I've commuted it every day for a year and not seen one incident.

3. The only ignorant person around here is one that doesn't have the decency to read and absorb what was originally posted. This is where I live, I know the area the roads and the villages very well and I'm telling you in particular, that I think two speed traps on the same quiet non residential stretch of road is overkill when the village up the road, victim to multiple incidents a year goes largely, if not completely un-policed.

That is my opinion, it is not whinging nor born of ignorance, unlike your post, clearly you know my area better than I, cool trick from the Manawatu.

Sh 3 approaching Egmont Village.

And just because you drive it every now and then does not acquaint you with the crash history of the road.

Wrong piece of road! He stated north....

Yep. He's nothing if not short in the comprehension department.

I'm clearly better acquainted with the road and it's history than you, considering you don't even know where it is

Seriously, do you have reading or comprehension difficulties, you seem unable to grasp the meaning or pertinence of anything that's written.

See if you can comprehend this... On the advice of others and after clear evidence of your inability to answer or comprehend a simple statement of fact or question, I have put you on my ignore list.

This means: do not trouble your tiny, under-worked, blinkered mind trying to come up with a reply to anything, because I, and I suspect many others will not be reading your ill informed, arrogant, defensive, evasive drivel.

If you are or were, as I suspect, a serving police officer, you do your colleagues and the force a major disservice displaying your low intellect and bigotry on line.

The location is really irrelevant.

You make assumptions about the history of a piece of road and then when you have no facts resort to personal attack.

Stick to the facts...what is the crash history of the road?

What do residents of the area think?

And these are just 2 of many factors that proper research takes into account.

Of course, you will now not read this as you seem to be able to engage in debate when someone suggests a view different to yours.

Same-old, same-old....

And you told the local authorities about the 'sleepy little village' where the 'near misses' are happening?

Good boy.

It should be pretty obvious - often when there is a nice straight stretch of road, muppets are driving at 90kmh in the 100kmh zone, then once they reach a small town which suddenly becomes a 50kmh zone they cruise through at 70kmh. It happens in most small villages.

I bet the police would have an early Christmas if they took note of that more often and sat on the side of the road in an unmarked patrol car with instant on radar.

You watch. He won't shut up.

[ynot slow]

Have driven and ridden the roads norf of New Plymouth or Waitara heaps of times,and since they put detour through Urenui each time going through there it amazes me no major prangs,cars heading south to New Plymouth come round a right hander and basically in town,well garage on left lol.Heaps of traffic hit the garage well over 50km.Similar to cars heading north to dorkland have enough time to slow,in the old days the road north had a few turns to slow traffic down.
