The Christchurch City Council plans to remove a DIY speed bump made by a woman fed up with the number of crashes at an intersection outside her St Albans home.
Sarah took matters into her own hands by spending $300 on 70 cats eyes, and sticking them on the road.
She told Newshub last week in the 18 months she'd lived at the property, she'd witnessed multiple crashes.

- Homeless man killed in Christchurch hit-and-run
In a statement on Tuesday however, Christchurch City Council head of transport Richard Osbourne said the speed bump made out of cats eyes was illegal; "we plan on removing them," he said.
Osbourne said there had been two reported crashes at the intersection in the past year.
The council installed yellow "no stopping lines" in May, and has also approved some speed bumps. As for any further action, he said: "We will be discussing this with the resident".
Sarah said last week the problem was motorists don't appear to see the road signs when they approach the intersection, which is located just out of Christchurch's central business district.
