Tauranga City Council was this morning forced to close Cameron Road following a legal challenge, reports Not the News.

Traffic chaos ensued as council staff were forced to block off all road junctions and struggled to get signs out warning drivers to find alternative routes.

Scenes of frustration on Cameron Road are the cause of its closure owing to a lack of a traffic management plan.

Boobs on Bikes organiser Steve Crow has had his challenge upheld on the basis that Cameron Road has ‘no obvious traffic management plan' and that journey times are ‘likely to be offensive to most normal people'.

He cites examples of motorists knocking up cooked breakfasts on camping stoves while waiting for a complete cycle of the lights at the 15th Avenue junction.

Crow's spokesperson, Norma Snockers, added that some journey times will probably be quicker, as drivers avoid the ‘trial by traffic lights' that is a complete run down the city's spinal feeder route.

‘Hell, haven't these people suffered enough,' she said, adding ‘if they think Satan is behind ‘Boobs on Bikes', then who knows who they think is behind the traffic management of this place'.

There has as yet been no response from the council, with senior traffic staff believed to be attending a traffic light convention in the USA, but local traffic police chief Roger Drivers said ‘We are doing our best to keep things moving,' and confirmed that patrols were giving the area a wide berth.
