After Yungatart's little escapade in Dec http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=873331&postcount=26 , when we returned from holiday, I got on the phone to the Te Kuiti District Council Roading Division. I spoke to a nice young lady there who gave me her email so I could send her a 'report' with photos of the problem corner, along with what I would recommend. I expected that I would hear no more.
BUT yesterday morning I got a phone call from her, to tell me that their engineer in charge had visited said corner, totally agreed with me that it was a problem AND my recommendation as to signage and corner speed. YAY!!!
The little guy can make a difference.
We will be travelling that road again in early March so will take my camera in the hope that signs are up and I can post proof here.

You're mighty proud of that driveway eh Beemer?? Stop posting piccs at once! You're making me jealous...

*walks in small circles muttering inanely to himself about rental property and gravel driveways*

At least I can do rarkeys going up mine in the gravel :) Yay for loss of traction!!!!

*Cough* - that's only ONE of the garages...! 'Bout time you came for a visit, Merv, you've been threatening it for ages!

And Phurball, we have paddocks, so if Andy wanted to, he could lose a bit of traction!
