There is nobody blocking a motorist from getting from point A to point B. What we want is for motorists to use the streets courteously and for the streets to be shared with everybody. The streets are not just for cars. We are ingrained to think they are, and that has happened over many years. The amount of street space allocated to cars is disproportionate given the modern society we are in.

I am not criticising the RSA. I want delivery on this, as does the RSA. We all want safety. I want to save lives and I want it done quickly. I think this measure would save lives and, not only that, it would make for more pleasant living on streets in towns.
