A range of measures - including a reduced speed limit - are being considered to improve safety on a rural road near Kerikeri after a spate of serious crashes.
Another smash last week on Kapiro Rd left a young woman critically injured and prompted renewed calls to drop the speed limit from 100km/h to 80km/h.
The crash was the 14th at the same spot outside Richard and Janette Tingey's property in 20 years. The couple has given up replacing their fence and put in a line of boulders instead, but even that isn't enough.

"They normally bounce over the boulders and end up in our paddock, that's how fast they go," Mr Tingey said.
