The government's decision to pause on motorway construction and concentrate on danger spots is valid. I'm sure many motorists have lists. Here's one from mine. State Highway 2 between Katikati and Wairoa River has at least 30 ‘T' intersections. Most of them have exit lanes and centre line pause bays for exiting traffic but nothing for traffic attempting to enter.

I suggest that a merging lane for left-turn traffic, plus a centre line pause bay and merging lane traffic be trialled. Probably a six-car length double lane on the entry T. Perhaps the Ministry of Transport's new No. 8 wire fence would corral the vehicles.

There does not appear to be any building obstruction. Mostly trees which are already a hazard.

A Butcher, Katikati.
