Photo Shannon GilliesThe NZ Transport Agency is asking for feedback on an electronic warning system - and a ''variable speed limit'' of 70kmh - for the intersection of State Highway 1 and the Moeraki Boulders access road. Shortly after the crash, Moeraki resident Jane Carlyon said exiting the village of Moeraki, 1.1km away from the boulders turnoff, felt like playing ''Russian roulette''. And yesterday, the former community board member said it was a ''pity'' only the one turnoff had been addressed. Yesterday's NZTA announcement noted the speed restriction would apply 170m either side of Moeraki Boulders Rd.
