Priority lanes are a fantastic idea and serve to just deal with the peak flows which is the main concern in Nelson.

Building another road to cut congestion is like putting another notch in your belt to combat obesity.

TOI TOI
Make Tahunanui Dr three lanes, with the central third lane changeable between northbound and southbound traffic depending on the time of day.

DRIVE
For the price of the coastal corridor we could have both of the other options.
Should be spending our money on hospitals and businesses, not infrastructure.
Make it mandatory for all students to arrive at school either on foot, by bike or by bus!

I think you should look at putting a short tunnel through the hill from Tahunanui Drive to Washington Valley and then make a concrete tunnel add on to extend the length down the valley as far as needed.
RIVE
Rocks Rd as bus, carpool and residential traffic only. Slim down the vehicle lanes and extend bike and foot path to suite bikes and pedestrians.
How about frequent and cheaper buses.
HA VE
Chuck a big tunnel through - less damage to everyone involved.
RO AD
If NZTA and council bought every adult in Nelson a decent commuter ebike, the cost would be around $105 million. That's by far the cheapest option.

Love the idea of getting trucks off Rocks Road.
RO C
Eliminate the traffic light at Hampden St School. Build a walking bridge.

Hearing our transport concerns Over the past month feedback has been sought by Waka Kotahi NZTA on a series of proposals to ease Nelson’s traffic woes. The options include widening Rocks Rd, building a new Inland Route along the Southern Link corridor or adding priority lanes to both Rocks Rd and Waimea Rd / Rutherford St. Nelson Weekly takes a look at some of the feedback
