Wellington traffic

[Drum]

Heez still working for one of the Consultant's that is responsible!

[Madness]

I think the two of you are in on it together.

Here I was thinking my job was like working for the devil. You guy's are evil.

[Wasp]

although it is much safer now that patch in kaitoke, i remeber getting air off that bump many times.....

SAFE?? SAFE??
That little bump was the best bit of road in greater Wellington. Grrrr

I need a cigarette.

You guys just stay the fuck away from Mangaroa Valley and we'll get along fine y'hear.

Glad to hear they're getting rid of those up-themselves Maungaraki types now.

Should save us a bit more time too, with not having to go around those slow Kawasakis any more.

I reckon you should just rip those front brakes off the Z750 Jim2 - it will help your lane splitting no end...

[Wasp]

so is there still going to be a way into the hutt from mungaraki? i.e. normandale bridge? or are the making the current muangaraki join to sh2 an over bridge into the hutt?

Oh hunny, I thought you'd be at work, otherwise I would've!!!, Next time aye!!

Always worth a try T. I work from home mostly but occasionally from desk space in Welly...if they have any work for me. So if you are thinking of passing Riverstone, donnez-moi le nod!!

Its not just the Hutt thats all meesed up,last night I left work,Taranaki & webb st intersection,it took me 25 minutes to get to The Museum Hotel
Whats up with the lights around the place??
That was at 6.00 so most of the rush should have been over

Traffic was a little better this morning but still took me 53 minutes from UH to Ngauranga by car. Still I suppose that would be considered good going for a similar trip in Auckland.

[Nasty]

I must have the sweetist ride in to work .... I come in via state 1 from Whitby/Porirua ... work in molesworth street, am allowed to park in the building .. so door to desk is around 25 minutes .. plus 5 for the hot chocolate run

[Grub]

Yeah tell me about this blardy traffic!!
I had to pass 2 cars up pircock hill today... its getting rediculos!!

Now I feel really left out, I didn't see any

[Pwalo]

What's with the traffic round the Basin? Dropped the SV off for it's first service yesterday and headed off home about 4.30pm. The traffic along Kent Tce seemed to be gridlocked.

Fortunately the GSR 600 that I was given as a 'loaner' was just the ticket for a bit of traffic slicing but what a pain!

Oh joy I get to do it all over again this afternoon.

Ahhh ... so that's where you are! I have had this compelling feeling of getting the Wednesday night ride to invade the plateau and twin valleys ending up at the short straw cafe (if they would stay open). I can't say that the natives would be well pleased but by the time all the *555 calls have been made, we'd all be as quiet as mice having Latte's!

I reckon that would be a much cool ride ... Duck Pond to top of Taka's, then left at Te Marua and into RifferLand

[riffer]

Actually, I'm next to Wallaceville Railway Station, but Wallaceville Hill and the Mangaroa Valley is less than a minute away.

so is there still going to be a way into the hutt from mungaraki? i.e. normandale bridge? or are the making the current muangaraki join to sh2 an over bridge into the hutt?

The latter. There will a grade separated interchange at Koro Cres/ Korokoro Rd with on/ offramps and a Maungaraki/ Hutt connection (it will be straightened out, and that dog leg at Koro Cres will go). The new Dowse interchange will also include an overbridge between Normandale and the Hutt.

During construction though, there will be a period (several months) where the Maungaraki/ Hutt connection will not be available.

Once finished (10 years+) there will be no traffic lights until Fairway Drive.

For the record I haven't worked in roading for a couple of years now.
