Busy Gisborne

Gladstone Road, the city's main street, the envy of many a visitor because of its width. It makes the main streets of some other places look like Barcelona back-alleys.

Yet at 5 o'clock or during the noon-day rush, Gisborne seems to need every inch of Gladstone Road's fine wide surface.

Looking west along Gladstone Road a few minutes after 5 p.m., shows five motorcars abreast as parked car backs out into traffic stream.
