Plan ahead for a safe and stress-free Labour Weekend on the road
A message from NZTA:
Motorists intending to go away for Labour Weekend are encouraged to plan ahead to stay safe and avoid delays on congested motorways.
The NZ Transport Agency has developed a tool that shows predicted traffic flow across popular journeys based on travel patterns from previous years. It can be found at www.nzta.govt.nz...
“Holiday weekends are always busy across Auckland and the Northland so congestion and delays are inevitable in peak times. But if everyone leaves plenty of time for their journey, drives to the conditions and plans ahead before leaving home, the worst of the frustrations can be eased and everyone can concentrate on arriving safely,” says the NZ Transport Agency’s Auckland Operations Manager, Rua Pani.
“Look for an alternative route or consider leaving when the traffic is lighter, either early in the morning or later in the day.”
Because predicted peak times can change based on incidents, weather and even driver behaviour we suggest that you check www.nzta.govt.nz... before you leave for accurate information about current road and traffic conditions.
The holiday journeys site shows the busiest time heading north from Auckland is on Friday between 1pm and 8pm. But historically, traffic is free flowing on Saturday morning if you leave before 8am. Coming home on Monday, expect the most traffic between 10am and 6pm.
