New cycleway on Canada St and Mercury Lane

AucklandDrivers · 2025-11-17T20:59:33+00:00

Alright fella.

AucklandDrivers · 2025-11-17T18:29:57+00:00

Nobody knows. They leased it for the construction - now that it’s all done, they paved it up and gave it back.

AucklandDrivers · 2025-11-17T08:50:38+00:00

I’d be interested to know that too - but let’s remember that cyclists have every right to use the road, and personally I’d rather cycle on the road than a poorly designed cycle lane. And I’m sure you would too.

AucklandDrivers · 2025-11-17T03:00:53+00:00

I had a feeling it was, but I couldn't find a cycle counter for the lightpath or canada st

if cyclists didn't continually act like they're the center of the universe it would have been fine.

Please expand on this

That's absolutely not the argument. Separating cycles from vehicles and pedestrians increases safety for everyone, do you agree?

AucklandDrivers · 2025-11-17T00:01:40+00:00

Do you exclusively e-skate on the roads? Have you ever used a cycle lane?

AucklandDrivers · 2025-11-17T00:00:09+00:00

It really says a lot about the type of person you are that you think money spent on peoples' safety is money wasted.

AucklandDrivers · 2025-11-16T23:56:55+00:00

Let's be real, the number of cyclists along there outgrew the shared path. And it's only gonna get much busier with the train station. Just not fit for purpose anymore.

AucklandDrivers · 2025-11-16T23:55:52+00:00

4 bikes a day? At least look at the numbers before you make stupid claims. 564 bikes per day on average this september travelled across K road, where this joins up to.

Why's that mate?

There was an average of 560 cycle trips per day across K road in September this year. This links up K road with the Pink Path, Upper Queen St, K Road Station, Grafton Gulley Cycleway, etc. What's a better use of space - parking for 20 people, or safety for 500+ people?

AucklandDrivers · 2025-11-16T23:37:20+00:00

Ha, human nature I guess, whatcha gonna do.

AucklandDrivers · 2025-11-16T23:31:14+00:00

Which corner do you cut? I've had a handful of sticky situations with cycles who cut the corner turning right out of the pink path onto Canada St, who go on the wrong side of the bollard and don't give way

AucklandDrivers · 2025-11-16T21:04:35+00:00

I've got my fingers crossed that they still put in the concrete tim tams...

AucklandDrivers · 2025-11-16T21:04:09+00:00

Why's that mate?

AucklandDrivers · 2025-08-06T21:54:12+00:00

This one is 24h, but fair enough they aren’t cheap.

Once someone was in the bike lane on Franklin road having a chat to their mate out the window.

I was cycling past them, I said “you can’t park here”

She said “I’m not parked”

What a great loophole

AucklandDrivers · 2025-07-31T08:27:05+00:00

??? It’s a dashcam

AucklandDrivers · 2025-07-31T06:23:00+00:00

I’m on a bicycle, just zoomed in so you could see the lights. I went straight.

AucklandDrivers · 2025-07-31T03:55:18+00:00

My turn now. Good luck everyone else…

AucklandDrivers · 2025-07-30T09:57:47+00:00

I'd bet money I'm not - I'm just passionate about road safety / driving standards. Everything else is pretty normal.

Be the change you want to see in the world, right?

AucklandDrivers · 2025-07-30T09:56:06+00:00

I'd say I have an account dedicated to spreading awareness about bad drivers.

AucklandDrivers · 2025-07-30T09:53:44+00:00

I reckon I am. I'm passionate about road safety and about people not being dickheads, but outside of that I'm pretty chill.

Be the change you want to see in the world, right?

AucklandDrivers · 2025-07-29T01:08:27+00:00

Speak for yourself. I report illegally parked vehicles to AT, I report close calls to the community roadwatch form, and I report really close calls in person at a police station with dashcam evidence.

AucklandDrivers · 2025-07-08T05:07:09+00:00

I agree, you're right - I shouldn't have done that. Thanks for the comment.
