1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Is there as much talk about road cones as there

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: are road cones? New number yesterday from the minister who promised,

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: of course, to do something about roadcones. Simeon Brown told

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: us the traffic management costs is three and three quarters

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: of a billion, seven hundred and fifty million dollars three

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: quarters of a billion dollars and that number is one

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: I watering, and two doesn't include the local council expenditure.

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: He claims changes underway now. Traffic direct General Manager Dev

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: Strauss is with us on all of this deav morning

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: modern is change underway.

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: I would be able to say, and other parts of

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: the industry, yes, I do believe it, but it just

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: doesn't happen just like that. I'd be vera common to say,

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: why not the new rollout with the industry code practices.

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: It takes a bit of fine tuning to be able

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: to redevelop and retrain everybody what they've held for the

17
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: last ten plus fourteen year. Is some that have been

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: in the industry for so long?

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: Is it a recipe in other words of your like

20
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: my big experiences on off ramps on motorways coming to

21
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: work at two thirty in the morning, is there a

22
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: recipe is you want to close an off ramp and

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: you've got to lay up eighty seven cones and a

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: truck to block the off ramp?

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: Is that?

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: Is that how you do it? Or you make it

27
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: up or how does it work?

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: No? These the diagrams are set out by by each

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: Road Corridor Authority RCA in this instance being an orphant,

30
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: and there is a what we some partners are still

31
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: using the comptum kind of practice traffic management menu and

32
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: that's derived and brought about by the then NZTA, which

33
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: sort of sets out how something should be implemented.

34
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: Have they changed anything? Are you getting the word from

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: the NZTA that sime and in town and he's shaking

36
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: things up and we're using fewer cones that we're getting

37
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: on with life or is that not filtered through yet?

38
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: I have heard through the great mind that there are

39
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: some changes coming. It's to be honest, it's a matter

40
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: of when they intend to adopt that process.

41
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: So simply we're waiting for the official word, and when

42
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: the official word comes through, yield that here to it

43
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: and life will be different.

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: Pretty much. That's the way forward.

45
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: Good stuff, dev I'm glad we got there. On the

46
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: n dev Strauss. It's not Dev's fault at Simon's. I'm

47
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: increasingly of the view that people like Simeon are really

48
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: good at making announcements and not good at action. For

49
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to news talks.
