Editing Hastings, New Zealand (section)

===Road===
Hastings is served by [[State Highway 2 (New Zealand)|State Highway 2]], which connects Hastings with [[Napier, New Zealand|Napier]], [[Wairoa]] and [[Gisborne, New Zealand|Gisborne]] to the north and (via [[Dannevirke]]) [[Wellington]], [[Masterton]] and [[Palmerston North]] to the south. SH 2 used to run through Hastings. Due to the road layout of Hastings, SH 2's northern and southern sections did not meet up. There once was a point in SH 2's continuation where there was a gap. SH 2 now connects Hastings to Napier through the [[Hawke's Bay Expressway]], and provides a more direct link between the two cities and to both Hawke's Bay Airport and Port of Napier for heavy-vehicle traffic coming from Hastings. The former designation of SH 2 is now State Highway 51. SH 51 enters and exits Hastings in a north-east direction. Heading north-east, it passes through residential Hastings, then follows the [[Clive River]] through the towns of [[Whakatu, Hawke's Bay|Whakatu]] and [[Clive, New Zealand|Clive]], bridges across the Clive, Tutaekuri and Ngaruroro Rivers before following the coast into Napier.

[[New Zealand State Highway 50|State Highway 50]] begins at a junction just north of Takapau, and connects Hastings and Hawke's Bay to the Ruataniwha Valley and western Hawke's Bay. It provides an alternative, quieter and (in terms of distance) shorter route into Hawke's Bay. It also connects Hastings to many of Hawke's Bay's wineries, for which the region is known internationally. It makes up part of the Hawke's Bay Wine Trail.
