A Dunedin City Council spokesman said no specific concerns about traffic congestion had been raised with the council yesterday but various road works in the city may have contributed.
The DCC, the NZ Transport Agency and other agencies such as the police are working on a plan to help the city cope with the expected influx of 60,000 visitors at Easter for the three Ed Sheeran concerts.

From the picture above you can clearly see there is enough room for 3 lanes. Why do we need parking a rarely used cycle lane, and bus stops on a busy state highway through central Dunedin? Surely the council and NZTA can work something out?
Murray Smith, they have no intention of making the roads better for motorists. Not making it easier to come into town, not making parking economically available and generally putting concrete islands and bike lanes everywhere they can, is the policy. This is so as to push us all toward buses and bikes. Inclement weather, steep hills everywhere, carting groceries, building materials such as timber, as well as firewood, furniture back home, not withstanding! The roads (SH.1 ) do not belong to the people paying the road tax; they belong to the tax gatherers who get to give it away to whoever they decide are the most influential users or it is given to the low road users (bikers) who the Council thinks should have more say than the rest of us because they are using the roads for "progressive" purposes.
