Why stop at some sign's why not remove 'all” traffic signage? Nobody takes a blind bit of notice of them anyway (blind being the operative word) – especially those pretty lollipops with the number in the center and 'stop” signs.
The 80kph speed limit on the expressway between Bethlehem and Cameron Rd is a total joke. Drivers fly past me like the proverbial shower of sticky brown stuff; and the 'stop” sign at Omokoroa Rd and SH2 intersection – well it makes a pretty decoration I guess. Drivers go straight through that intersection constantly. I've heard people say one has to 'stop” only if there's traffic approaching from the north. My understanding of the Road Code is that it's a 'compulsory stop” (compulsory meaning one 'must” stop) and a rolling slow down doesn't count as a stop.
Some drivers can't estimate the speed of other vehicles and take some hideous risks at this intersection. I see it all the time. I make sure I stop completely traffic or no traffic. It annoys the hell out of the drivers behind me – but hey – I may have saved a life or stopped someone being seriously injured at that intersection, so I make no apologies for that.
And while I'm on the subject of traffic would everyone please learn how to use the indicator rule at roundabouts. I have come so close to being T-boned by stupid people who don't use their indicators correctly. If you don't know the correct procedure, don't use your indicator. You're a danger to other road users and frustrate the hell of everyone.
