HUTT ROAD DRIVERS
CARE DURING WEEKEND
The Automobile Association has asked that drivers on the Hutt Road during the weekend exercise particular care on the length of road just north of Ngahauranga, where the widening work and the renewal of stormwater culverts being done by the Main Highways Board and Public Works Department have necessitated the placing of a succession of barriers and drums on one side or the other and in the middle of the road. At present these barriers are lit by kerosene storm lanterns only and it is an easy matter to become confused. It is most necessary that drivers shall reduce speed between Ngahauranga and Petone, and this warning applies particularly to weekend drivers who are not cognisant with the nature of the work in hand. Generally the fillings which have been made to give a correct banking on curves are rolled to a fair running surface as they are put down, but in one or two patches the surface is anything but smooth, and this, is another obvious reason for reduced speed.
