If they want to cross the road, use one of the many pedestrian crossings around the city. totally agree with you CW…

All our roads are getting narrower to make more room for cyclist who do not have to pay any government charges to use our roads; maybe cyclist should start paying registration and pedestrians an annual fee to walk on our roads. To have a vehicle registered for 3 months its only $66.60 but then you have to pay a CTPI premium Fee of $116.80, then Road Rescue Fee of $4.00, then road safety contribution of $0.50 then a registration surcharge of $25.00 including GST $10.62 Totals to $212.90 for using your vehicle for 3 months oh and that depends on the type of vehicle you drive, these applies to a station wagon. You then have insurance to pay plus maintaining you vehicle whish is not cheap. Now all these include GST and Taxes which goes to the government. So why do we have to pay so much to use our roads when we are already paying enough through tax. Why can’t we just pay for registration, mechanical work and our own insurance??????????????????
