When are the roading authorities and the politicians going to wake up and see the mayhem being created at the Omokoroa Rd intersection with State Highway 2?

The Government has gone and plopped a Special Housing Area on the Omokoroa Peninsula – and together with other residential developments – houses are popping up faster than mushrooms.

But still there is only one already highly-gridlocked intersection in and out of the peninsula.

Waiting residents get anxious and pull out onto the highway in front of traffic going 100km/hr in both directions.

When are these planners going to learn to build infrastructure when they build new subdivisions? And not leave all old and new residents in congestion for years afterwards?
