Road safety during vintage
The 2020 grape harvest is underway and that means a big increase in the number of trucks, tractors and harvesters on our roads. Over the next few months, everyone can play a part in helping keep our roads safe. Please be patient if you get caught up in a procession of tractors and harvesters.
Tractor and machinery drivers will be courteous and let motorists pass when they can. Make sure you give trucks lots of space to manoeuvre and report any grape spills to Marlborough Roads Ph: 03 520 8330 (24-hour service).
