nice find Maximus, it’s the best book I’ve read this year.(don’t judge me..) The fact it covers regulation that has already been implemented (often for many years) its history and why it was introduced in the first place (makes explicit links to economics, politics etc) and also its...
Oarfish it be then ! Perhaps they have a saying in Oarfish land, like we say See Naples and Die – They might be saying See Surface and Die…. re the Taranaki / Courtenay crossings – officially removed as part of the Bus Lane turning circles etc…. ouch ! big thunder! Here...

I think Taranaki St is far too wide at the harbour end. I’ve never seen even a fraction of the number of vehicles that would require that many lanes. Remove a lane each way and plant trees, or widen the footpaths or something. But what has happened to the traffic islands at the junction of...
You talking to ME? You TALKING to me? “ranting and raving” ? That’s me, right? Yes, I know its a bit of a leap from Taranaki St to 5th Avenue – wasn’t thinking so much of the shops, as the rows of fine buildings lining each side, but then I said Shops, didn’t...
Bravo indeed – thanks to Tony Randle and to M-D as well, for their lucid and useful comments. My apologies if you think I was one of those ignorant critics, and its great to see some focus back on those real issues. Tony, I’m interested in your comment “whether Johnsonville is...
