Anyone going to look... actually run the route you'd take to/from work or whatever use you'd have for the ring route. See how much you can do on the tolled section if you actually wanted to (and how far out of your way you have to go to achieve that).

By impication... if you have to go a long way out of your way (even if you wanted to)... so do others.

And those others are the ones that will be blocking up the non tolled lanes.

Ergo, the harder it is for you to use the tolled lanes, the more conjected the non tolled ones will be for you.

would be good for a few KB'ers to turn up to one of those meetings and ask them the tough questions! someone could count how many times they say "no comment', 'not sure yet' etc etc!! hahaha

Take a look and see how many people are there from Nielsons (or whoever) vs Transit. It's a good indicator of how much interest they have in informing people (Transit headcount) vs collating info on public opinion and dealing with objections (Nielsons)

Here is the piece from the western leader..

had dificulty rotating, so hope it comes out ok!

why bother, the roads that will be tolled are only going to be the new roads there will be a way to get around with out paying.

FFS! Look at the smegging map!
EXISTING roads are GOING to be be tolled!!!!!!!!!! The North Western Motorway between Waterview and Rosebank Rd will have a tolling station.
This has been in existance for decades.

But you don't have to take the nw motorway.

Obviously; but look at your original statement, which is incorrect.

well I wasnt aware at that stage of what the plan is, but who cares serriously you can just go around the long way. I hate motorways. (like building them though!)

[Disco Dan]

Has anyone heard any more news on this subject???

im waiting for a mass protest ! ! !

[Disco Dan]

Ok, well i went down to one of the conultation days... ...spoke to a rep from transit who rides bikes himself ()

As far as cameras go, they will be taking TWO photos one as you approach and another as you pass through. So sorry dudes, they still will get our plates!!!

There is talk of a lower toll for motorbikes though.

From what i saw in the 10 min i was there yesterday, EVERYONE that came in gave the guys there a really hard time! The more people that appose the better!!
