Reflective pegs and white lines have disappeared from some rural roads near Nelson

Reflective pegs and white lines have disappeared from some rural roads near Nelson

There's nothing like being out for a drive in the country, with the wind in your hair and nothing but the road taking you on your journey.

But if you're heading out of Nelson, pay particular attention - some of the roads around the Tasman District have changed.

There are no white lines, and there are no reflective pegs on the sides of those roads.

Why? Well, it's not about common sense - it's about dollars and cents.

Watch Anna Burns-Francis’ report.
