Chanelle Hayes indicates the recommended size a rural road stop sign should be at the Outram intersection where her niece was killed two years ago.

A report provided to council just days after the tragedy highlighted stop signs on the approach to the junction were "urban size" (675mm) rather than the NZ Transport Agency recommended 845mm. Yet as Jayde’s family gathered to mourn the second anniversary of her death last month, the signs remained unchanged. "When the standards for existing signs change, the DCC replaces them with new signs when the existing signs reach the end of their useful service life."
