The removal of the $500,000 grant for regional land transport planning, of vital importance to ensure a planned and integrated transport network is provided for our region. ‘‘We acknowledge the tight financial circumstances we’re all in and hope that by working with the NZTA we will find a workable solution on funding assistance rates,’’ she said. ‘‘As they are, these proposed changes will result in an increased and unfair burden on local and regional councils. To offset the funding cut and maintain robust transport planning, road safety promotion programmes and public transport infrastructure, a local rates increase could be needed. ‘‘The only other alternative would be a drop in our current level of service and programme delivery across these work programmes,’’ Cr Southgate said. Meanwhile, the multi-agency Waikato Regional Trans- port Committee is making a detailed submission raising concerns about the impact of the proposed changes. Winter driving requires more care and skill riving to the conditions is a common safety message, but it’s not just about climatic changes D it’s about increased road usage, such as when children are back at school, and other factors such as road works. Motorists are being encouraged by a Road Safety Advisory Group to not only adapt their driving to winter conditions, but to also ensure their vehicles are fit to be on the road. ‘‘Driving in adverse or challenging driving situations can be demanding on motorists, especially young drivers possible driving in these icy conditions for the first time. It’s still important to plan your trips even if you are only commuting to and from work and if you feel yourself getting tired pull over and have a break.’’ Winter driving conditions require greater care and less speed, so drivers should allow extra time for their trips. ACC Injury Prevention Consultant Lisa Taylor said a particular hazard identified in the eastern Waikato was the risks posed by black ice. ‘‘Black ice can be difficult to spot on the road but is mainly common in cooler shaded areas or around streams, lakes and rivers. ‘‘Black ice can appear as shiny watery patches on the road. Be prepared for black ice to appear anywhere on the roads by reducing your speed, avoiding sudden braking and sudden changes in direction and increasing the gap between you and the car in front.’’ During winter drivers should: 8277268AA • Planning your route making allowances for bad weather. • Check your vehicle to make sure it is road worthy for winter driving. • Ensure your wipers work properly and that your tyres are correctly inflated. • Switch on to be seen. Having your lights on both day and night can helps other road users, including cyclists and pedestrians see you coming. • Ensure you can be seen, if you are a cyclist or pedestrian wear high-visibility clothing wherever possible.
