MP’s plan for Piarere

By Sophie Iremonger

Waikato MP Tim van de Molen says he will invite Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Transport Minister Phil Twyford to visit the “dangerous” stretch of State Highway 1 between Cambridge and Piarere.

He will also call for electronic speed reduction signs, orange poles along the centre line, a wider median, “high crash rate” signs, and a higher police presence along the road. His pledge followed a meeting on Monday with Karapiro residents and stakeholders about safety issues along the 16km stretch of

road. Some residents expressed concern that once the Hamilton and Huntly sections of the Waikato expressway were completed, Auckland-to-Tauranga traffic would reroute from State Highway 27 and use the Karapiro stretch to the SH29 turnoff.

Van de Molen reminded residents that $8M worth of safety upgrades had been planned for the road and were supposed to have been finished, but weren’t completed “partly due to weather”, he’d been told. Continued on page 3
