[Text] State Highway One |
|
| 00:00:06 |
[Text] Between Ōtaki and north of Levin |
|
| 00:00:08 |
[Text] Is home to three of New Zealand‘s top 100 dangerous intersections. |
|
| 00:00:12 |

Drone footage of Gioja's house in relation to State Highway 1 |
I remember one bad accident. I got woken up about 3:30 in the morning |
| 00:00:19 |
Gioja sitting in her lounge being interviewed |
and I raced outside and there was a car on the opposite side of the road. That was just horrific. |
| 00:00:29 |
Gioja looking out of her kitchen window |
|
| 00:00:29 |
[Text] From her kitchen window... |
|
| 00:00:32 |
[Text] ...Gioja has seen first hand the effects of a crash on SH1. |
|
| 00:00:38 |
Gioja sitting in her lounge being interviewed |
There‘s no back road. If it‘s a bad accident, traffic sits there for up to five hours. Hundreds and hundreds of cars. |
| 00:00:43 |
Drone footage of Gioja's house in relation to State Highway 1 |
I've had people in tears. They‘ve missed ferries, they‘ve missed international flights. Being stuck in that traffic cars isn‘t just about sitting is a car waiting. It‘s actually about, it impacts on people‘s lives. |
| 00:01:01 |
Gioja standing and looking directly in to the lens of the camera |
Caption: but Gioja has been helping reduce those impacts with kindness. |

[Text] But Gioja has been helping reduce those impacts with kindness. |
|
| 00:01:07 |
Gioja getting bottles of water from her pantry and taking them outside. |
I take water out for kids and animals and just tell people it‘s going to be a long time. You either turn around and go back to where you were, or just sit there for five hours. |
| 00:01:22 |
Gioja standing at her gate looking towards State Highway 1, then sitting in her lounge being interviewed |
One time I went out there and there was a couple in the car with a child and they‘d just flown in from England (so this is obviously pre-COVID) and I said it going to be a long time. And she said “Oh, I‘m dying for a cup of tea“, and I said “Well, come in and have one“. |
| 00:01:34 |
Water from tap pouring into a jug |
So she and the boy came in and had a cup of tea. |
| 00:01:39 |
Gioja in the kithcen filling up her jug |
One time there was a van-load of elderly Samoan women They all sat under the trees |
| 00:01:48 |
Gioja sitting in her lounge being interviewed |
and I took cups of tea out to them. You just do what you can. |

Gioja standing outside |
|
| 00:01:51 |
[Text] Gioja can't wait for the new Ōtaki to north of Levin highway to open. |
|
| 00:01:56 |
[Text] The new highway will ensure people and freight are able to more safely and easily move between the two regions. |

It‘s a huge relief. When that motorway comes through this will be the back road. |

So it has to happen. It‘s not a nice-to-do, it‘s a has-to-do |
