TEAM THUGZ: New Zealand's most dangerous intersections revealed


http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/new-zealand-s-most-dangerous-intersections-revealed-5875636

These intersections in New Zealand are dangerous as follows: 

1 Auckland Glenbrook Rd and Kingseat Road

2 Taupo District (NZTA) SH1 (Thermal Explorer Highway) and Poihipi Road

3 Taupo District (NZTA) SH5 (Napier - Taupo Road) and Arrowsmith Avenue

4 Rotorua District (NZTA) SH30 (Hemo Road) and SH5 (Old Taupo Road)

5 Napier City (NZTA) SH2 and (Main North Road) SH2B (Napier Hastings Expressway)

6 Auckland Waiuku Road and Attewell Road

7 Auckland Great North Road and Bullock Track

8 New Plymouth District (NZTA) SH3 (Devon Rd) and Mangati Road

9 Waikato District (NZTA) SH1B (Telephone Road) and Holland Road

10 Auckland Tamaki Drive and Ngapipi Road

 

There have been reports of 53 deaths and 445 injuries that occurred between 2003-2012, and these intersections have been the main target for safety improvements.

 

How should these intersections be safe?

they obviously need for signals or warnings if they tend to be very dangerous. If it is super busy, maybe the signals are not enough

I agree with Kyndall. If these signals are not enough, the speed limit should be lowered.

If signals aren't working they have to figuer out some way to make the intersections safer like Gavin said they could lower the speed limit.

they should add more signals and lowering the speed limit wouldn't be a bad idea

maybe some stop signs, street lights, and what not and probably better driving instructions.

They need to add signals to make them more safe or even redesign the intersections.

If adding signals and stop signs aren't enough to improve the safety conditions for these intersections, then they need to be completely redesigned. Also, lower speed limits should be required. The amount of lives lost in these intersections is ridiculous for something that could easily be prevented.

They should add more signals to make it safer. Also, they may need to go further and add something more effective then signals.

Yes, like everyone else said, they need more signals for safety and lower the speed limit if the signals do not work.

They obviously need to put more signals up and lower the speed limit dramatically if there has been that many accidents.

Signals and speed limit signs should be place in the intersections to prevent anymore accidents.

They could always make more signals and stop signs before the street lights. Also reduce the speed limit in those certain areas.

I agree that they should place more signals and stop signs and lower the speed limit. More cops should be regularly overseeing those intersections for safety of the people.

Id say lowering the speed limit and having obstacles to enforce that speed limit would be a good idea.

If putting in signals or stop signs does not work then they need to lower the speed limit. Obviously these intersections are not safe and something needs to be done to make them safer.
