For quite a few years, Howick/Pakuranga commuters have successfully used the Panmure Bridge with the overhead lane lights allowing two lanes into the city in the morning and two lanes the other way in the evening. Then Auckland Transport (AT) installed lane lights in the tarmac, which are now broken. Instead of returning to the old proven system, AT has made the bridge one lane into the city for an indefinite period. Is there a rational reason for this? I doubt it.
