On one of the bends south of Otira just before Wainininini the LTSA or who ever installled a speed activated arrow on a sign that told the person to both slow down if they were going faster than the recomended speed and indicated the direction of the bend.
Its mainly for the tourists but it seems to be working no cars on their roof for a while now.
There are a couple of bends south of Charleston that could do with them.

I've noticed a few of these springing up around the Waikato and Auckland in recent times.

Sounds like they did a top job in Rotorua. The close-spaced markers on this corner ( Kopu-Hikuai road ) aren't recent. I'm involved with the Northern Loop project so will pass your comments on. Cheers!

I am sure someone would remember it being a test, so maybe the info is around somewhere.

Waikato backroads are pretty shitty, blind corners and dips and rises and milk tankers gallore.

Sounds good.

prefer a no tech solution as arseholes up here would just wreck it, for the hell of it.

It always had the traditional big arrow and speed corner sign heaps of pegs etc., but i guess the tourist were to preoccupied looking at the scenery.

Probably think it is a speed camera in disguise.

northbound through dome valley and southbound through secret roads which aucklanders shouldn't be allowed on. a 55 and 35 respectively. fackn dangerous when you're heading into them at night, eyes nicely adjusted for low beam, holding more than the statutory/advisory velocity, then they fucken blind you with white and orange flashing fucken LEDs. safety my fucken arse, i'll bowl one over some day, just on principal.

I recall once at a Brass Monkey heading to kweenstown on my Z1000J a row of poplars strobing me and I ended up at some pub with a Sunday voucher watching Europe doing the Final Countdown.....doo doo do do.
