The petition - to stop NZTA switching from snow chains to an open/close system in Arthur's and Porters passes - has hit 10-thousand signatures.
But NZTA southern system manager Pete Connors says the creator has a few things wrong.
He says it's based on the premise they'll close the road as soon as it snows - which is not so.
Connors says they'll only close when the roads get icy - so fewer vehicles will be getting stuck.
