One of two roads called Waitangi Road, the other is named Waitangi Rd West on TrailForks to avoid confusion but the signs just say Waitangi Rd on both.

The eastern end between Stick Rd and River Rd is very steep at over 20% grade.

Trails Waitangi Track and Afraidium can be found up here.

Historically trail Ward 0 Point 5 could be found here too.
