A highway deviation through the old railway yards at Wakefield being carried out by the Ministry of Works will eradicate, when completed, two difficult corners in the Wakefield shopping area. The picture at top shows the view looking north and the route the deviation will follow and that at left shows the start of the deviation on the northern side of the shopping centre and looking south.

The ma in highway to Blenheim is now in beautiful condition and permits motorists maximum speed limits in safety. The few difficult bends on this route have been adequately sign-posted, that is with one possible exception. We refer to this bend, a fairly tight one nearing the foot of the Whangamoa Saddle, It is quite deceptive in approach, especially since a long, downhill straight leading to it encourages the motorist to increase speed after the slow, winding journey over the saddle itself. Wight we suggest a "Deceptive Bend" sign?
