Unusual Thursday evening rush hour traffic jam along Bealey Ave, in the aftermath of the magnitude 7.1 earthquake that struck Christchurch on Saturday 4 September 2010.
No traffic on Tuam Street which was in the area cordoned off following the magnitude 7.1 earthquake in Christchurch on Saturday 4-9-2010.
As a way of reducing traffic - and hence damaging vibrations - many streets are partially blocked by these signs. Also many of them have a 30kph speed limit.

Bridge opened for traffic less than a week later, but still (23/09) has 30kmh speed restriction.
The bridge on River Road just before the Banks Ave turn off. The bridge approach to the left subsided. Temporary repairs have been carried out but you can still see evidence of the amount of subsidence by the traffic island in the middle of the road.
