I was looking for information on possible closure of the Remutaka Hill road due to wind today.

The NZTA website offered me a report from September 2016 as the third ranked Google result. This seems a trifle out of date and surely shouldn’t be coming up at all? Or at least on page 10 rather than page 1.

Is it just because they don’t keep the NZTA website properly updated or is it a Google thing?

Must be a google thing.

 

journeys.nzta.govt.nz  has near real-time updates.  These are done by TOC (Traffic Operations Centre) staff I believe, i.e. the folks who watch the cameras, control the message signs, temporary speed limits, etc.

 

Current status of the Remutaka Hill Rd. is open but a strong wind warning is in place.




Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

That's a google thing.

 

 

 

If they're not already, NZTA could do something like automatically put up a banner noting that this news item is old like some news sites do, but their only other option would be to make it 404 which is not great, particularly if you're trying to find historical pages.
