Wayne Brown: Auckland mayor says traffic management industry is taking advantage of safety rules
Auckland's mayor says the traffic management industry's taking advantage of New Zealand's safety rules.
Wayne Brown's commissioned an independent EY report on temporary traffic management.
It found road work contractors are incentivised to cause maximum disruption for more profit, and legislative change is needed to change the behaviour.
Brown told Mike Hosking he's trying to change Auckland's approach, but there's so many rules and regulations in the way.
He says the culture of over-safety is everywhere here and these particular industries are exploiting it to the maximum.
