    Unmarked heavy metal roadworks - who to call?

    Was just going down Eskdale road (Adjacent the Eskdale reserve entrance, by the power transformers) to find a slab of the black magic cut out to reveal a 5 degree camber of heavy metal gravel - enough of it to make my front wheel very vague.
    I looked behind me to check for signs, because all I could see was a 30k marker and about 7-8 cones.

    Do I call anyone about this? Because it sure as shit caught me off guard! Doesn't help that that particular slab of road is usually dark and uneven.
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    Let the local council know. The MAG-NZ website has a Report A Road campaign, there is some useful info there.

    Cheers for that, 0800 number seems useless though, will try e-mail and follow up other routes.

    What if there's something weird, and it don't look good, who am I going to call then?
