Thanks for this. It’s really odd seeing the empty sections.
I’m alarmed at the state of the roads - what is going on? I thought ours were bad up in Auckland but those ones I just looked at in Christchurch are are terrible.
- ghewgill 4y agoThe roads in the red zone are no longer maintained. It's surprising how quickly road condition deteriorates.
- Fatnino 4y agoEh. I've been down a road that hadn't been maintained in over 40 years. I thought it would be worse. You can't relax while driving it because the bad sections are BAD, but between them are stretches of just fine, clearly old road.
- EdwardDiego 4y agoThose roads in the linked Streetview are from 2013, btw. As they were a) low traffic and b) prone to liquefaction in aftershocks, they were low priority for repairs. They're a lot better today.
- martynr 4y agoInteresting to note that the street view is pre demolition so all the buildings you see are now gone - street view ghosts.
- lostlogin 4y agoI switched to the latest and they didn’t seem very good. Maybe I’m too critical.
- martynr 4y agoNo, you’re right - as an earlier comment said, the red zone roads are not maintained anymore since the area was demoed and they are currently pretty munted. I can’t say that the rest of the city is pristine but it is a good bit better.
- Thorrez 4y agoIf every building has been demolished, I don't think neighborhood road condition is very important.
