In brief

ROAD SAFETY Police, Auckland Transport and the NZ Transport Agency launched a two-week road safety operation on May 16, coinciding with Road Safety Week. It focuses on red light running and targets motorists who take risks during peak traffic at four high-risk intersections. The intersections involved are in Birkenhead, Albany, Glenfield and Northcote and were selected because of their crash risk and traffic flow.

BILLIE COLE

Auckland Transport supports calls to remove slip lanes at a busy Milford intersection. Residents and Devonport- Takapuna Local Board members want the lanes at the Kitchener and Shakespeare roads intersec- tion removed and traffic signals installed at the left turns. Slip lanes are lanes provided at intersections to allow vehicles to turn left without entering the intersection and not interfere with the through traffic. Local board member Jan O’Connor says the intersection is ‘‘suicidal’’ for pedestrians. She believes the slip lanes need to be replaced with controlled signals to prevent accidents. ‘‘The hazards are not good for pedestrians. I believe that as far as pedestrians go that intersection Hundreds of is actually suicidal.’’ children use the Resident Grant Young is Kitchener and among those who lobbied the local Shakespeare board about the slip lanes. road intersection to get to school ‘‘As parents of young children, or kindy. we have to cross the intersection PHOTO: BILLIE COLE. every day to get to school and we face various safety risks in doing that.

TOM CARNEGIE AND ANNA LOREN

Parts of a much-loved bridge are to be closed after standing for more than a cen- tury. The Old Mangere Bridge is deteriorating and the NZ Transport Agency is to install a fence to keep the public from walking along its sides. ‘‘This will allow a 5.8 metre wide path through the full length of the bridge to continue to provide walking and cycling access, while removing weight off the outer sections of the bridge,’’ Auckland highways manager Brett Gliddon says. The fence will be in place by June. It comes after structural inspections showed ongoing deterioration in the bridge’s condition. A large load on the edges of the bridge could place it under enough pressure to pose a risk to public safety, Gliddon says. Two wide bays in the stronger sections of the bridge will remain open for fishing. 2B ‘‘The transport agency is working hard to balance keeping this much-loved facility available to the public until its replacement is completed, while reduc-

In brief

SURF LIFESAVING After four hours of racing, it came down to two seconds to decide the winner of the 2016 Bay of Plenty IRB Long Haul. Mairangi Bay Surf Life Saving Club took first place over Red Beach with Papamoa A taking out third. Eleven teams were tested with physically and mentally demanding challenges along the 95km stretch of coastline from Ohope Beach to Mount Maunganui in the Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB) challenge that tests surf lifeguards’ ability to respond to a callout or rescue by quickly setting up the IRB and heading out onto the water. This year, the race format was changed to a stage race to allow for closer racing. It was set over five stages (Matata, Pukehina, Papamoa, Omanu and Mt Maunganui), where all teams started together and raced side- by-side to the next destination where they completed the stage challenge.

RUGBY Takapuna, who last year struggled to turn a trick, continued there winning ways with a hard fought 26-22 win over East Coast Bays in the North Harbour club competition. The win sees Takapuna take the pole position in the premiership hunt. Albany United’s celebrations did not continue after the game.
