The subjects bothering many motorists are clogged roads, lack of parking at the destination, and both appear more prevalent?

There is no need for the level of congestion, delays, queues and inefficiencies imposed relentlessly on motorists who have little choice. All harms the lives of many citizens and costs all businesses/households significantly every day, every year!

The crazy schemes created, recommended, implemented that only add to congestion, like traffic-lights not synchronised, bad timing and lengthy road works, are extraordinary!

The commercial additional costs are huge. There's many examples.

Obviously those who get paid to ‘think' can't figure the real problem or worse; and if realised they ignore it. The thread linking all is Tauranga City Council and its desire to replace all cars with buses and bicycles – yesterday! Looks like a Tui advert to me, but onward they go!

It's overdue for an adequate level of accountability from those creating a cascade of under-achieving, ineffective and costly failures.
