Due to the fact that LTNZ's SH3 regularly falls over and all that heavy traffic diverts over the Saddle Road and the Pahiatua Track, both local roads paid for by the ratepayers of Tararua District, I reckon it is time for Tararua ratepayers to DEMAND that their council slap severe weight restrictions on the Saddle Road and the Pahiatua Track, effectively blocking heavy trucks from using them without a special permit from the council for each trip. For years, the ratepayers of Tararua District have been lobbying for both of those roads to be made state highways so the local ratepayers aren't stung for the cost of the roads getting pounded to bits by heavy STATE HIGHWAY trucks, but the government and LTNZ have been ignoring them. Effectively banning heavy trucks from those roads would force the Nats government into taking over those two roads and relieve the local ratepayers of the burden of paying for heavy trucks passing through their area pounding their roads to bits and costing those ratepayers big-time.
