Main road traffic in a right jam

Stop, go, stop, go, stop, jammed, crawl – this is Cameron Road, Tauranga.

I raise this issue because the operation of Cameron Road, our busiest business road, is a disgrace to the council.

For instance, the lights are hopelessly out of phase. Set them so 20 vehicles can run the length of Cameron Road without stopping!

The road is reduced to one lane from the hospital. Get rid of the all day parked cars and make it four lanes all the way to Barkes Corner.

Large parts of the road are reserved for a few bikes and occasional turning traffic. Clear the road for commerce. Time, fuel and brakes are all being wasted. Make this road efficient! We pay for two full-time TCC staff to monitor the lights and traffic.

Are they asleep?

TCC staff advised my councillor that they made Cameron Road ‘unattractive' so that we would use their toll road! Well, you have gotten rid of it now!

Councillors, get your staff to fix the operation of this shocking road.

THE TOLL HAS GONE UP

So even less cars, van and truck will use it now. Totally agree - TWO lanes each way all the way from the central city to Barkes Corner. If the road is not wide enough for two lanes GET RID OF THE PARKING, and also put the cyclists back on what was a cycle track for 40 years.
