Description

This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 31 January, 1964. "Several drivers in this queue at the traffic lights at the intersection of Featherston and Rangitikei Street this week were certain that the lights were not working properly, causing the traffic to bank up like this. However, this week the City Council officials carried out its three-monthly check on the lights and they found nothing wrong. Could it have been that someone in the head of the queue had stalled?"
