This Can Not Be the Highway To Wellington!
New Zealand safety barrier
That must be what many travelling visitors say when faced with this daunting view of the Rimituka hill road. About 100 metres straight down, beyond that fence.
I guess it IS hard to believe this is one of only 2 routes out of the nations capital!

I am talking about foreign visitors! I have had a visitor from Oklahoma who had “never been round a corner before”
Having lived in Martinborough, & owning a 1600cc 1968 Fiat 124, I too loved the road. A big disappointment when they put double yellow lines right through. And these new changes at the top. But when you see the moronic accidents that occur, who can blame authorities?
I assume if you can do less than 10 minuits, it is not on a Harley. My Fiat is faster than a Harley over there.
