Classic Hamilton drivers. Bet the council will spend $50m on a roundabout now instead of fixing the actual problem.

typical reply, blame the council. it's the drivers not paying attention.

Taylor Wright2026-07-05T01:49:42.000Z

hope the pedestrian is ok, that's rough

Grace Patel2026-07-05T01:59:42.000Z

Another one. How many pedestrians need to get hit before they actually put some decent crossings in?

Isla Cooper2026-07-05T02:15:42.000Z

The amount of ppl that speed down Lincoln St is ridiculous. Slow down ya muppets.

Aria Wilson2026-07-05T03:23:42.000Z

any updates on the pedestrian?

Sage Lawson2026-07-05T03:45:42.000Z

Exactly! They treat it like a drag strip.

Luca Reid2026-07-05T03:51:42.000Z

Thinking of the family. Hope they're all getting support right now.

Isla Cooper2026-07-05T04:23:42.000Z
