The grim farce ordained by Simeon Brown begins to manifest.

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.

So not only is there too much writing but there are ridiculously complicated increments of time that you have to figure out, relative to your speed, in a split second.

Also, the speed limit applies in the morning Mon-Fri, but only "school days" in the afternoon? Do you have to know whether it's school holidays?

brokenstarfish.bsky.social•5 days ago

I would assume so. Then there are kids everywhere so… 30km everywhere during school holidays?

Or are we just gonna let them free roam in a fenced off park for a couple of weeks? I might be thinking of goats.

Freedom is .... Six lines of small print

(Btw Could save 3 lines by saying just 815 to 915, but motorist minutes are so valuable)

Our local school crossing is screened by a bend cars tend to sweep around. Thank god there’s an electronic sign which is very clear when it changes to 30kmh. Those signs in the picture are murderous.

What's (not) funny to me is that schools aren't just busy at those times, but before and after, and at all times, because they do other kids stuff at school outside school hours. But it's cool to go fast then, with happy, bouncy 5-year-olds on the loose at 4.30pm...

None of it makes any sense. It's just horrible culture-war grandstanding.

silkehartung.bsky.social•5 days ago

Utterly ridiculous.
