Finally the fresh road markings have been put in at the intersection of Waikawa Beach Road and SH1 (on Thursday 07 March 2024). It’s taken ages and many people have been concerned, with northbound vehicles overtaking at the intersection. Perhaps the road markings will make a difference?

Many thanks to the Waikawa News reader who took these photos and allowed me to use them.

I was interested to note, on a couple of trips this week, that a Police car was parked with a view of the intersection. Perhaps they were monitoring driver behaviour?
