Ah... Hamilton is going to have some changes these days... Like the intersection on Te Rapa road and Wairere drive (near The Base). It all started as a chaotic, rumpled and muddled roundabout. Cars were going up, down, left, right, forwards, backwards and every direction you can think of. Everyday, there will be over 100 traffic jams (nice on toast). Just because of this one and only reason, the Hamilton City Council decided to take away the roundabout. They replaced it with an intersection with traffic lights, lined with smooth, black asphalt. From that day on, the dirty, messed up traffic jam hell turned to a fresh and improved 50% non-traffic jam place.
Isn't it better to have an intersection that's brand new and not crowded?? :-/
yes it is better because now there aren't as many traffic jams.
ReplyDeleteAnd, some places where we need roundabouts instead of lights are being put in too! It's great how we adapt to the cites needs.
