The original submission was “Phase traffic lights on SH1 North and South to suit cyclists”

Unfortunately the phasing is set to suit cars travelling at the 50kph limit. Given the huge spread of speeds that bikes go, having a phase set that suited bikes would be problematic, even if one could convince Waka Kotahi to favour bicycles over cars…!
