$330,000 Judder bars according to Luxon..

Then there's the footpath to road entrance way, designed to be a smooth transition. Until the road gets resurfaced. Once, twice, three times - each time another couple of inches gets added to the roadway, but not the entrance.

Bump bump... Ouch Ouch.

The problem with judder bars in places near schools is that the risk is only for a short time each day, yet the judder bars are 24/7.  The 40km speed limit at specific times is a much better balance. And the best thing would be if schools stopped allowing on-street drop-off and pick up. That's the biggest safety issue.

There was something about this on the talkback the other day, discussing whether or not they damage your suspension and shorten the life of it and make your car unsafe in the process.
Some food for thought, im a bit upset about the ones we have had installed, yes they have gotten rid of the boy racers doing burnouts at night, but we have to pay the price.
