Love this.
The government took away freedom. The community responded by choosing safe streets.

C&R (National party in Auckland) flyer for the Puketāpapa Local Board team

It gets weirder. A plan that's not a plan.
They might want to check the spelling of where they want to represent too!

Here's what the government campaign looks like on the ground (literally) in Auckland.
Putting aside the crime against design, C&R (National party in local govt) haven't quite got the memo.

NZers are paying with their lives, and everyone pays the cost of lost productivity as a result of Simeon Brown's car brain culture war against safety and evidence. Tragically, this is the inevitable outcome of blanket increases to dangerous speeds

It’s not just the sheer vileness—it’s the compound long-term harm.

Dehumanising your colleagues, thereby discouraging future participants, *while also* squatting in powerful roles, robs us all of a pipeline of greater potential.

Kudos to Mayor Whanau for going through ‘em like a dose of the salts.

It's so important that this stuff sees the light of day, otherwise the weight of it sits on the targets of the abuse and the abusers get to go on without consequences or shame or remorse.

Auckland Transport wasting time and money making streets MORE dangerous and the transport system LESS efficient.

On the left a 30 kmh KURA speed sign. On the right unreadable and dangerous variable speed signage

Turns out objections to Te Reo signage was never about legibility or safety ....
Distracting, unreadable and dangerous signage on the right coming to over 150 school communities across Auckland to replace the sign on the left.
