NZTA continue to ignore our pleas for change despite such a high risk for public safety.

I agree completely with the need for realignment of this stretch of road due yo serious safety concerns.

The blind spots, increased traffic and high crash zone causes extreme concern for the safety of our whanau In particularly our tamariki. It shouldn’t take a fatal event for changes to be made.

I drive this stretch twice a day to drop and pick my kids up from Kaitoke school and I feel that it is very dangerous and has the potential to be life ending if someone accidentally makes a mistake or is for a moment inattentive.

Concord Line is very dangerous to exit onto state highway 3. Traffic comes around the corner at 100k which doesn't give drivers enough time to react if someone pulls out from concord line. It makes sense to reduce the limit in that area for the safety of all.

I am a mum of a 6 year old at Kaitoke School. It's dangerous every time I drop off or pick up my child from school at the SH3/Concord Line intersection. A reduced speed limit and improvements to the intersection would ensure the safety of our tamariki, the kaitoke community and all road users who usually come hurtling through this section of highway.

My son attended Kaitoke School and I have witnessed several near accidents where vehicles were turning on to the main road..this is due to poor visibility from traffic turning and traffic carrying on straight through. As the road is so dangerous , I did not feel that zaks grandmother could travel to pick him up from school. There are so many accidents on this stretch of road. A new road layout would make this safer.

For the road safety for our tamariki, whānau and school community. It is a no brainer changing the speed limit in this area.

This is a high speed area and it’s extremely dangerous around school drop offs and picks ups.

Make the road safer for the school bus to get in and out safer and for staff and families that pick students up.

I give my support because I am also very nervous at this road junction. The traffic has great speed and since other schools now have a variable speed reduction in school zones I would suggest the same here.

I’m signing because my grandchildren attend Kaitoke school and are at risk because of the turn off and onto the highway. It is a horrible corner - I struggle with it in the occasions when I drive the children to school.

Two of my grandchildren attend Kaitoke School. It's dangerous turning on to and off the main highway for their school bus and all parents/caregivers.

I drive the school's bus at times and can vouch for how dangerous the school intersection is because of no turning bays, and because traffic is passing at 100kph. School zone signs alone do not slow traffic down.

The safety of the children being dropped off and leaving school

My child attends kaitoke I would like it to be safer for families dropping off and picking up their child

I've driven this road Mon - Fri all year and if I slow down at Kaitoke people driving behind get aggressive, toot or follow dangerously closely. It's unbelievably dangerous for drivers from Bulls end to turn right to get to the school, or for anyone trying to exit from school back onto the highway.

I'm a parent and negotiate that intersection every day with my 3 kids in the car. It's a gamble almost every time we use it!

Its a dodgy section of road considering the school is there. I'm sure lowering the speed limit is the cheapest option but there are more suitable options available aswell. My family attend the school and their mother uses this junction with Concord line more than most on the daily.

My niece and nephew go to Kaitoke School and I want them and other kids to be safe. I went to Kaitoke 20+ years ago and the speed limit should have been reduced back then when we use to cross the highway to use the hall on the other side of the road.

This piece of road can be dangerous, and has shown to be dangerous by the road crash statistics. It is too close to the school to be continued to be ignored.

I am a resident of Concord Line and have found over the years, the increased danger of trying to enter/exit this intersections safely. It is only going to be a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt, if not killed. Especially with the increased traffic with the school families as well.

Family live on Concord Line, frequent visitors. The corner is very dangerous to turn out of Concord Line onto the main road.

i use concord line often and it. is very dangerous

The current layout & signage does nothing to detract speeders on what is a high-speed dangerous section of State highway. A big concern being so close to a Primary school.

My family have lived in Concord Line Kaitoke, Wanganui since 1979 and still reside there
This road has always been a concern with many crashed and near misses.
It is so dangerous especially coming from south and turning into Concord Line.
Us, school bus, and all locals from the Prison always go past the road and continue onto the flat to safely u-turn and come back. It is no fun sitting like a duck, especially with a horsefloat on the car, in the middle of a main road on a blind corner.
Please, fix this now

I am a resident of Concord Line and am constantly using the intersection which I can assure you can be a hairy experience with the speed of the traffic coming north on SH3
