In fact, I think it needs to go beyond highways and - if money was no object - I’d have median barriers on pretty much every road. I’ve been convinced for a very long time that, if you were going to do one thing, installing more median barriers would be the thing that would make the biggest difference. But he’s over that and he thinks the transport agency needs to up its game big time. He says he’s heard a truckload of excuses. To be precise, Waka Kotahi is saying instead of 1000 kilometres it now expects to have covered 587 kilometres.Īnd Greg Murphy is less than impressed.
So far, it’s delivered 67 kilometres of new median barriers and by the time it gets to 2030, instead of delivering 1000 kilometres it will probably only deliver about half of that. Seven years away.Īll the talk has been about installing new median barriers on about 1000 kilometres of road. It’s been revealed that despite all the noises about road to zero and making things safer on the roads, Waka Kotahi is on track not to meet its objective of having 1000 kilometres of new median barriers in place by 2030. The other reason he’s so refreshing, is that he says it the way he sees it. If you want to talk to someone who knows what cars and driving are all about, you talk to someone like Greg Murphy.
Firstly, because he knows what he’s talking about. Which is why it is so refreshing to hear someone like him. I suppose you get like that when you make a living out of driving cars around race tracks at breakneck speeds. Greg Murphy doesn’t mince his words, does he?
