Not only are the road repairs the work of poor quality patchwork quilt deployment teams coupled with seeming dozens of cone shufflers, but when there is a smooth surface it gets broken up. The sheer lack of foresight, and complete absence of quality control, on the part of NZTA is truly staggering. They haven't yet recovered from our previous govts complete f**kery of maintenance budgets into ideological changes sans good science. Give them time, it'll get unwound. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really does seem there is a race to the bottom - "they did this, we can't do any worse! Oh. Look at that... Who would have thought that could happen?"
