So it’s a double edged sword. We could all complain and end up with heaps of temporary speectestrictions or just read road ahead and ride accordingly…
There’s just not enough industry capacity to fix everything that needs fixing even if the govt wrote a blank cheque tommorow.a lot of my favourite roads are getting fixed at moment but dealing with that many roadwork sites is painful. Honestly I think I’d rather just go slower in the bad spots.
Of course, nothing to do with the increased axle loadings that are now allowed, coupled with the increased number of trucks on the road due to govt policies of running down rail. Since the double tracking of the rail between Upper Hutt and Trentham, with the subsequent ability of fitting the additional log trains from the Wairarapa around the suburban commuter trains it will be more than likely that the road surface of the Remutaka hill road remains intact for longer. The suburban line passes right behind my house so by my count each log train takes about 20 trucks off the road, and there are usually three trains daily, more in the weekend
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
