The Waimairi County chief traffic officer (Mr A, Laing) says that drivers are asked to use the suggested routes, and the correct lanes, and should give clear signals. The officers are on duty for the sole purpose of assisting all road users to arrive and

depart as safely and quickly as possible, and the co-opera-tion of everyone is sought, he says.
