Stops and Slow Downs

If you are a frequent traveller from Timaru to Oamaru or vice versa, you might have noticed the stretch of highway approaching the north end of Glenavy that has a deep rut.

The NZTA has identified it and put “Slow Down” signs for over a year. Then a month ago, the road repair started. Vehicle speed was limited to 30 Kph, and then vehicles had to queue as the passage was limited to one lane.

Driving to Oamaru last Thursday, I stopped at the road repair site as requested. The queue of passing vehicles was so long.

I didn’t mind the long wait, and it never made my patience run out because I knew they were repairing the highway for our safe driving benefits.

Later, I reflected that stops and slowdowns are needed in any life journey to make our trip better and more fruitful. They make us better travellers as well.

The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty (Proverbs 21:5).

Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray (Proverbs 10:17)
