# Poles and Signage - General, 254 Papanui Rd, Canterbury, Christchurch 8014, New Zealand

Christchurch · filed 16 April 2025 · report 6200234

> Could someone please explain why this traffic light on the St George’s corner of the Papanui Rd / Innes Rd intersection has been covered in blue plastic for about the last 6 months. It requires drivers turning right from Papanui Rd into Heaton St to look at the lights on their left hand side, as well as oncoming traffic on their right hand side, before they safely make a turn. This seems an unnecessary danger. Why is the light covered.
