Route

SH 54 begins at SH 3, 4.5 km north of Palmerston North and travels north on Kairanga-Bunnythorpe Road then west onto Milson Line and north again onto Camerons Line before making a sharp left turn onto Waughs Road. After a short distance SH 54 enters the town of Feilding. At a roundabout in the centre of the town, SH 54 turns sharp north-east onto Kimbolton Road and leaves Feilding travelling in a general north direction to Cheltenham. Here the highway diverts left and winds up the Rangitikei Valley, crossing the Rangitikei River and ascends on a windy route to terminate with SH 1 at Vinegar Hill.

History

Instead of diverting left at Cheltenham, SH 54 used to carry on through the town of Kimbolton on a much longer route, eventually terminating with SH 1 further north at Mangaweka. In the 1990s SH 54 was shifted to its current route.

gollark: <@205756960249741312> Just thought of this: how does CLI mode handle teletext characters?
gollark: Our idea was to run a bunch of CC computers headlessly and allow accessing them from ingame as well as the interweb. Basically "the cloud", but for CC. I have no idea what it could be used for but it would be cool.
gollark: It's probably possible to handle the xterm-or-whatever-it-actually-is escape sequences in CC well enough to render okay.
gollark: That's useful, thanks. There are probably ways to convert the VT100 sequences into other useful stuff.
gollark: <@205756960249741312> Does CraftOS-PC have anything like the CCEmuX feature where it can render to TRoR (the terminal redirection over rednet protocol)? Me and Rph had an idea which would need some way to run emulated CC computers headlessly and stream their output/input to/from elsewhere somehow.
