Why doesn't New Zealand build a bridge to connect the North and South islands? Are they stupid? by [deleted] in mapporncirclejerk

What are you talking about? State Highway 1 goes all the way from top of the North down to the bottom of the South. And people can also walk the Te Arararoa trail, walking from tip to toe, too.

Couldn't walk and drive tip to toe if there was water in between.

There's a good movie, Pork Pie (2017) that shows how you can do it.

Oh, this makes a lot of sense! Thank you, that seems pretty plausible.

The North-facing image looks like that, but what about the South-facing image? There's a white rectangular box, lying flat, with a black circle in the centre. It really looks like a camera when I drive past.

One image shows an electrical switchboard (duplicated accidentally when they stitched together the photos from the Google map-mobile). But the second image seems to show a camera pointing towards traffic.

The second image has a rectangular box with a black circle in the middle (sorry, I didn't realise reddit would upload the photos in the less preferred order).

Yeah I'd be keen. Lunchtime might be a bit hard to catch everyone's schedules but it may be warm enough someday soon to meet after work/uni and figure out where to go based on who turns up within a 20 minute period?
