Study Shows On-Ramp Traffic Lights Working

A New Zealand Transport Agency study has found that traffic lights installed at motorway on-ramps have significantly helped in reducing traffic congestion during peak hour.

The NZTA claims traffic is moving 14 percent faster since ramp signals were introduced, but many motorists aren't convinced.

A survey by 3 News found that most people believe the traffic lights simply moved the blockage from the motorway to the feeder roads.
