Drivers warned of disruptions

Drivers warned of disruptions

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is advising drivers of potential delays across the region over the next fortnight.
The agency yesterday issued a statement noting 22 sites in Otago and Southland that may cause "minor disruptions for motorists".
"The following work where traffic management is in place may mean short delays but is important for maintenance of the highway network.
"Road users are asked to plan ahead and drive with care through these areas," the statement said.
An NZTA spokesman said the agency was eager to make sure people were aware of "the breadth of the work" under way in the region.
"We're just wanting to get that across to people ... a lot of freight companies and various parties, it's helpful to them in their day-to-day having that kind of information all in one place." Key

The Manawatū-Tararua Highway: One month open and no complaints, crashes or potholes

'The Saddle Rd is back to 1255 vehicles a that was 6941 a day.' Collis said the number of heavy vehicles travelling the Pahiatua Track had also decreased. 'If we go back to November... there were 3471 people using the track, that's down to 1751, that's a significant change in route.' Between June 11 and July 9, 261,209 vehicles travelled the 11.5km highway between Ashhurst and Woodville. According to NZTA project manager Grant Kauri, this averaged more than 9300 vehicles a day, and despite the heavy rainfall over the past fortnight, maintenance teams were not required to repair the road surfacing. Kauri said there had been some questions about the speed limit on the highway, and current signage was being investigated. 'The highway is performing well and NZTA is buoyed by the positive feedback from community groups and road users, including the freight industry and emergency services.' Logging truck driver and Dannevirke local Trevor Beale said he travelled the highway two hours after it opened in his motorhome and was impressed with the stretch of road. 'The guys who did it did a wonderful job, and... it's a credit to the workmanship they put into it.' The highway while described as steep has significantly cut down travel times. Photo / NZTA. He said one important part of driving on the road, especially for truck drivers, was to accommodate the steep gradient and not rely heavily on braking systems. 'People have to learn to drive to the conditions.' He noted during the drive that there were limited places to pull over should a vehicle need to stop. 'That is something they have to address, putting pull-over areas for people that may have punctures or a breakdown that is not for sightseeing.' An NZTA spokesman said the highway had three official pull-over areas – two heading east towards Woodville and one for motorists heading west towards Ashhurst. There were also maintenance bays and parts of the highway had shoulders where there was space between the barrier at the edge of the road and the lane for vehicles to pull over. Collis said they had expected a spike in people across the three months after opening, but were particularly impressed with people venturing out in the winter months. 'They are spending time in our shops and businesses and exploring what we have got.' She said there had been increased interest in commercial and residential property. 'When I go through Woodville, I get really excited, people outside the real estate offices just having a look in the window.' She said while it was hard to measure the economic increase in the district, they were certainly feeling it in the number of visitors. 'Someone said to me in Dannevirke, every day looks like Friday, and Friday was always the busy day.' Michaela Gower joined Hawke's Bay Today in 2023 and is based out of the Hastings newsroom.
