The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) are urging people to drive to the conditions during the heavy rain and strong winds forecasted for Nelson this week.

“When it is raining heavily, it is important that drivers watch their speeds, take care not to follow too closely, and be really careful when taking corners,” says NZTA Regional Performance Manager, Mark Owen.

Mark says high-side vehicles, motorcyclists and cyclist have to be careful when there are strong winds., also everyone should look out for and report debris on the road.
