The other 1,500 km of roads in the district are owned by Marlborough District Council and managed for Council by Marlborough Roads.
Remote roads
Some 700 km of the Council-owned road network is not sealed. These roads have low traffic flows - typically fewer than 100 vehicles per day.
Most of the roads in the outer Marlborough Sounds and the more remote roads throughout the rest of the district are unsealed. These roads can become slippery during prolonged wet periods and require drivers to exercise extreme care at such times.
Some unsealed roads, especially in the Kenepuru area of the Marlborough Sounds, can be damaged by storms and are subject to closure, but it is rare for any road to be closed for more than one day.

Urban areas
