'Gone too far': Wellington Water traffic management under fire

Drew Parker2026-06-21T08:30:09.000Z

Three sets of lights for one pothole? This city's gone mad.

Mia Carter2026-06-21T08:36:09.000Z

ffs just fill the hole and move on. Wasting ratepayer money on traffic management cos someone forgot a cone

Ella Thompson2026-06-21T08:49:09.000Z

Bet the contractor is mates with someone on the council. Classic Wellington

Finn Walker2026-06-21T08:56:09.000Z

They'll be there for weeks too. Had the same thing outside my place – one tiny leak, three vans and a guy on smoko for a week

what a joke. I'm stuck in traffic every day thanks to this crap. sort it out

Drew Parker2026-06-21T09:49:09.000Z

need to get a grip and just fix the road properly. Not this half-arsed 'temporary' crap that lasts months

Finn Walker2026-06-21T09:28:09.000Z

mate, the H&S stuff is ridiculous. But still take the piss with three sets when one would do

Stuff2026-06-21T09:43:09.000Z

they're milking it. Seen it a hundred times, drag the job out for extra dollarbucks

Ben Sullivan2026-06-21T09:35:09.000Z

Yeah nah but three sets of lights for a hole the size of my fist is still taking the piss

Ella Thompson2026-06-21T09:52:09.000Z

lol watch them pat themselves on the back for 'managing traffic' while we sit in queues

Noah Bennett2026-06-21T09:45:09.000Z

Councillor bangs on but watch them vote for the next useless transport plan. Rinse and repeat

Reese Morgan2026-06-21T10:03:09.000Z

Facts. All talk, no walk. Classic councillors

Mia Carter2026-06-21T09:58:09.000Z

I'd rather they just close the whole lane and be done with it. But no, they'd rather employ 5 people to watch nothing happen
