The Spinoff

Covid-19 November 17, 2021

Revealed: when – and how – aucklanders can travel for summer.

• Share Story

Covid restrictions preventing travel in and out of Auckland will lift on December 15, the government has announced. Here’s how it will work.

What’s all this then?

For several months, travel in and out of Auckland has been heavily restricted in an effort to prevent the delta outbreak spreading beyond its borders. Earlier this month, the prime minister told ZM the region’s boundaries would stay put for the summer , but people would be allowed to leave, with vaccination and/or testing requirements. Today, Jacinda Ardern announced a plan for this to happen.

Great, I’m an Aucklander. When can I get out?

December 15.

Great, I’m from outside Auckland but I want to visit. When can I come in?

December 15. But you’ll be subject to the same requirements as Aucklanders if you want to leave again.

What are those?

You’ll need either to be fully vaccinated or have a negative test within 72 hours of your departure.

I thought it was going to be a vaccination AND negative test requirement, not either/or?

That was never explicitly stated, but that’s how many people, including the National Party , interpreted Ardern’s comments to ZM, as well as remarks from Covid-19 response minister Chris Hipkins on RNZ later that day. It’s safe to say today’s announcement came as a bit of a surprise.

How will they check everyone leaving is complying with those requirements? Didn’t I hear something about travel time slots?

In that November 3 RNZ interview , Hipkins mentioned that one option being considered was giving Aucklanders a set time slot to leave the city. The idea was roundly panned and the following day, deputy prime minister Grant Robertson said it wouldn’t happen .

So what checks will be in place instead? Can I expect big queues of traffic at the northern and southern borders?

It appears there will no longer be hard boundaries or even checkpoints at the edge of the Auckland region, so perhaps not (though let’s be honest, this is Auckland – there will be traffic).

“Police will have operational discretion on the enforcement of these rules. Police undertake random spot checks to enforce a range of laws on our roads, such as drink driving, and will take the same approach here,” according to a press release from the prime minister.

It will be a bit stricter at the northern boundary, the gateway to low-vaccinated Northland. “Police will work with iwi to ensure people can move, but also that the people of Northland have confidence in the checks that are in place.”

For those heading south from Auckland, it remains to be seen to what extent these “random spot checks” will be used.

What will those spot checks look like, and will there be a penalty if you’re caught out?

It’s safe to say police will be asking to see your My Vaccine Pass (more details on that here ) or the official text message confirming a negative test. And yep, there’ll be an infringement fine of $1,000, and presumably you’ll be turned back.

What about if I’m flying? 

The same rules apply to air travel, and will be a lot easier to enforce – presumably, adding a vaccine pass/test result check to the normal boarding pass check shouldn’t be too arduous. Handily, Air New Zealand is introducing a vaccination or testing requirement on December 15 for all its domestic flights anyway. It’s not clear if Jetstar will do the same, but the airline  has said it will comply with any government requirements for vaccination and testing.

What about the inter-island ferry? Is anything being done to protect the South Island?

No special restrictions will be put in place, but Ardern said, “we will be enabling inter-island ferries to require proof of vaccination or a negative pre-departure test in order to travel between Wellington and Picton”. As of a couple of days ago, KiwiRail was still considering introducing such a requirement for its inter-islander ferries.

Will this soft border around Auckland remain in place for ever?

It appears not. According to today’s announcement, the vaccination or testing requirement “ will be in place for the core summer period of December 15 2021 to January 17 2022″.

Why do we have to wait a month? Why can’t Aucklanders leave now?

“We have deliberately set the date for the boundary restrictions to change in a month’s time in order to give the rest of New Zealand time to move into the safer traffic light system and the chance to increase vaccination rates even further,” said Ardern.

What’s the deal with those vaccination rates? Are we at 90% yet?

Not yet: “Eighty-two percent of New Zealanders are now fully vaccinated compared to just 23% when delta arrived three months ago, so we are in a much safer position to ease boundary restrictions.

“We will be in an even safer position by mid-December when it’s expected New Zealand as a whole will be around 90% fully vaccinated.”

And the traffic light system – what’s the story with that?

Ardern also announced today that the rest of New Zealand will move into the traffic light system at the same time as Auckland does, expected to be soon after November 29. Check out our live updates for the deal on that move, and our Covid-19 protection framework explainer for a refresher of what exactly that is.

How has today’s boundary announcement been received?

The decision has been criticised by the Green Party, with co-leader Marama Davidson saying vaccination rates in vulnerable populations were not yet high enough.

“Aucklanders have being doing it really tough, but we have to hold the line to keep everyone safe while vaccination rates increase, particularly when so many of our vulnerable communities are still at risk,” said Davidson in a statement.

“Labour is making a mistake by committing itself to opening the Auckland border before evidence is known about how the traffic light system is working and cases have stabilised. A date for opening the border should only be agreed once vaccination levels are equitably high, the traffic light system tested and refined, and regional health systems prepared.”

National wasn’t happy either, criticising a lack of detail in the announcement and saying the plan would bring a “summer of chaos”.

“The prime minister was unable to answer basic questions about how the new stop and search travel system would even work,” said leader Judith Collins in a statement. “No idea how many cars police would be pulling over each day. No idea whether people would need to provide photo ID alongside their vaccine certificate. No idea if this would apply to 12-year-olds or just adults.

More Reading

  “No idea if someone if someone is pulled over just south of Auckland, how will police know whether they have come from Huntly or Auckland?”

Professor Nick Wilson from the University of Otago’s public health department said he would have liked to see “persisting stronger attempts to keep the Covid-19 outbreak contained to Auckland” until vaccination rates were higher, and said protection for the South Island was too weak. “It should include other requirements such as a negative rapid antigen test result at the point of boarding a flight or ferry to the South Island.”

Dr Rawiri Jansen of the National Hauora Coalition, meanwhile, said, “I’m feeling resigned to the government’s changes – more loosening leads to more spread, with the greatest impact upon whānau with the least resources.”

New screening process at Auckland International Airport

We are supporting our Aviation Security Team at Auckland International Airport, to advise they will be using updated screening equipment as part of the departures process from Wednesday 1 May. 

There will be additional staff and signage available to assist travellers with the changes, which includes being able to leave all electronics  (laptops, cell phones, iPads) and liquids, powders, aerosols and gels (100 ml or less container size) in your carry-on bag, rather than having to remove these for screening.

As the new equipment is introduced, you may experience a slightly longer processing time and so we encourage you to make your way through to the departure area for screening as soon as you have completed check-in.

Important information about travel to and from Chicago for April 2024 - October 2025

We've made the difficult decision to extend the pause on our direct services between Auckland and Chicago which was due to resume from 25 October 2024.

Unfortunately, ongoing challenges with the availability of Rolls Royce Trent 1000 engines on our 787-9 aircraft means we haven’t been able to return to our Chicago route in October as expected. We anticipate returning to Chicago when we receive our new 787 aircraft from Boeing, currently expected in the second half of  2025.

April Travel Tips

Airports will be busier than ever this April with many opportunities for holiday breaks. Here are our top travel tips to help you prepare.

Disrupt Reimbursement Consideration

If your journey has been disrupted for a controllable reason, e.g. engineering, or crew shortages, and your new itinerary requires you to stay overnight in a place you do not reside, our airport team will be working hard to secure accommodation for you.

Over peak travel periods, availability is extremely limited and you may be required to source your own accommodation.

As a guideline, we recommend $250.00 per room and $90.00 per person, per night for meals. This is a recommended amount only, and all expenses must be reasonable and supported by itemised tax invoice receipts. Please retain all itemised tax invoice receipts, as they are required for reimbursement consideration.

To submit your reimbursement request, please visit here  to do so. Alternatively, you can visit here  for details on how to submit your claim through our messaging channels.

Cyber security 

You may be at risk of cyber-based threats during overseas travel to any country. Digital identity theft is a growing concern. Your devices and personal data can be compromised, especially if you’re connecting to Wi-Fi, using or connecting to shared or public computers, or to Bluetooth.

Social media can also be risky in destinations where there are social or political tensions, or laws that may seem unreasonable by Australian standards.

• Cyber security when travelling overseas

Civil unrest and political tension

Demonstrations and protests.

Protests are generally peaceful. However, public protests and events that draw large groups of people can turn violent.

Follow the advice of local authorities.

• Demonstrations and civil unrest

Terrorism is a threat worldwide.

• New Zealand police

Climate and natural disasters

New Zealand experiences  natural disasters  and  severe weather , including:

• earthquakes
• volcanic activity
• flash flooding

To protect yourself in a natural disaster:

• secure your passport in a safe, waterproof place
• follow the advice of local authorities
• keep in contact with friends and family

Monitor local media and other sources, including:

• Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management
• Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System

Earthquakes

Earthquakes  are a constant risk in New Zealand.

Most quakes are too small or deep in the earth to feel. However, about 150 to 200 quakes are big enough to feel each year.

Large, damaging earthquakes have occurred and could happen again at any time. Aftershocks can continue for days or weeks.

When an earthquake happens, you're advised to drop, cover and hold. If an earthquake is long or strong, and you're near the coast or large body of water, you should go to higher ground immediately.

If you're indoors during an earthquake:

• move no more than a few steps to a heavy, solid object you can get underneath, and hold onto it
• don't try to run outside
• stay indoors until the shaking stops
• stay away from windows, chimneys, and shelves with heavy objects

If you're in bed:

• hold onto the bed and stay where you are
• protect your head and body with a pillow and blankets

If you're outdoors:

• move to the nearest clear spot
• keep away from buildings, trees, and power lines
• drop to the ground

If you're in a car:

• drive to a clear place away from buildings, trees, and power lines
• stay in the car with your seatbelt on until the shaking stops

If you're in a lift:

• stop at the nearest floor and get out

After the earthquake finishes:

• be aware of possible tsunami risks (see below)
• prepare for travel delays
• reconfirm your travel arrangements
• check your accommodation with travel agents and tour operators

Because of the region's earthquake risk, tsunamis could happen.

All of New Zealand's coastline is at risk of a tsunami. New Zealand is a member of the Pacific Tsunami Warning System.

The National Emergency Management Agency manages the National Tsunami Advisory and Warning Plan and issues tsunami alerts on its website. These are also broadcast by New Zealand media.

A tsunami could arrive within minutes. There may not be time for an official warning.

Move immediately to high ground, or as far inland as possible, if you're near the coast and you:

• feel a strong earthquake that makes it hard to stand up
• feel a weak, rolling earthquake that lasts a minute or more
• see a sudden rise or fall in sea level
• hear loud and unusual noises from the sea

Don't wait for official warnings.

Walk or bike if possible because of potential road congestion.

New Zealand's active volcanoes can erupt at any time. Volcanic alert levels may rise quickly. You may be ordered to evacuate at short notice.

If there's volcanic activity:

• follow the instructions and advice of local authorities
• follow evacuation orders
• take official warnings seriously

If you plan to visit active volcanoes or surrounding areas:

• monitor the  GeoNet  website
• get local advice first

Visit  GeoNet  for information about volcanic activity at:

• Mt Tongariro
• White Island
• other active volcanic sites

Severe weather

Weather conditions can change quickly. Severe weather can occur.

Creeks and rivers can experience  flash flooding  after heavy rains.

Rapid weather changes could leave you stranded or injured, particularly if you're in a remote area.

Monitor weather conditions, forecasts and warnings from  Metservice .

Take extra care if you're climbing, hiking or in a remote area.

Parts of New Zealand experience  bushfires  in hot, dry conditions.

If there's a bushfire, follow local advice.

Adventure activities

Most people enjoy adventure activities safely in New Zealand. However, these activities carry risks.

Several serious accidents involving Australians and other travellers have occurred. People have died.

Some operators have been found to be negligent.

Safety standards can differ both between individual operators, and from standards in Australia.

If you plan to do an adventure activity:

• be aware of the risks of individual or group activities
• check the safety standards of operators
• check to see if operators meet industry standards

Safety risks can increase in severe weather and remote areas.

Before you do any adventure activities :

• make sure your  travel insurance  covers your planned activities
• understand what your travel and other insurance doesn't cover
• only book with operators with appropriate safety equipment and practices
• always use the safety equipment, even if others don't

If you're trekking or travelling in a remote area:

• get updates on local weather from the  Department of Conservation
• check conditions with the local DOC visitor centre
• register your trip with a DOC visitor centre
• tell your family and friends your plans
• carry a personal locator beacon
• avoid creeks and rivers after heavy rains

You can hire personal locator beacons throughout New Zealand.

When you return from a hike, check in with:

• the DOC visitor centre
• your family and friends
• anyone else who knew your plans
• AdventureSmart
• Mountain Safety Council

Travel insurance

Get comprehensive  travel insurance  before you leave. 

Your policy must cover all overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation. The Australian Government won't pay for these costs.

If you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. This applies to everyone, no matter how healthy and fit you are.

If you're not insured, you may have to pay many thousands of dollars up-front for medical care.

• what activities and care your policy covers
• that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away (including if stopovers on the way to your destination are covered) 

Physical and mental health

Consider your physical and mental health before you travel, especially if you have an existing medical condition. 

See your doctor or travel clinic to:

• have a basic health check-up
• ask if your travel plans may affect your health
• plan any vaccinations you need

Do this at least 8 weeks before you leave.

If you need counselling services in New Zealand, contact:

• Lifeline – 0800 543 354 or free text HELP (4357)
• Suicide Crisis Helpline – 0508 828 865 (0508 TAUTOKO)

Not all medication available over the counter or by prescription in Australia is available in other countries. Some may even be considered illegal or a controlled substance, even if prescribed by an Australian doctor.

If you plan to take medication, check if it's legal in New Zealand. Take enough legal medication for your trip.

Carry a copy of your prescription or a letter from your doctor stating:

• what the medication is
• your required dosage
• that it's for personal use
• New Zealand Customs Service
• Medicare Australia

Health risks

Health risks are broadly similar to those in Australia.

Medical care

Medical facilities, reciprocal health care.

New Zealand and Australia have a  reciprocal health care agreement . This lets Australians access public medical facilities and care.

It doesn't:

• include ongoing treatment of existing health conditions
• cover extra accommodation costs or flights for family members
• cover flights to Australia
• replace the need for travel insurance.

To access services under the agreement:

• show your current Australian passport or evidence of permanent residency
• show your valid Medicare card.
• New Zealand Ministry of Health
• Reciprocal health care agreement (Services Australia)

Accident Compensation Corporation

If you're injured in an accident, the  Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC)  covers the costs of hospital treatment.

The cover provided by ACC:

• offers injury cover on a 'no-fault' basis — this means accident victims don’t have a legal right to sue a third party
• ends once you've left New Zealand
• doesn't replace your need for  travel insurance .

You're subject to all local laws and penalties, including those that may appear harsh by Australian standards. Research local laws before travelling.

If you're arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you under our  Consular Services Charter . But we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.

Penalties for possessing and using drugs may include fines and prison sentences.

• Carrying or using drugs

Alcohol laws

You'll need photo ID to buy alcohol or enter licensed premises.

You can't use your Australian driver's licence.

Approved IDs include:

• current passport
• current New Zealand driver's licence
• Kiwi Access Card
• Approved ID

Quarantine regulations

New Zealand has strict biosecurity rules.

If you don't declare items for quarantine, you'll get an instant fine.

If you make a false statement, you'll face heavy fines and prison sentences.

Customs requirements 

When you arrive, customs officers may check electronic devices they suspect are being used in criminal activity. Devices may include:

• mobile phones
• portable tablets
• hard drives
• digital cameras

Australian laws

Some Australian criminal laws still apply when you're overseas. If you break these laws, you may face prosecution in Australia.

• Staying within the law and respecting customs

Dual citizenship

New Zealand recognises dual nationality.

If you're an Australian-New Zealand dual citizen, use your  Australian passport  to enter and leave Australia.

• Dual nationals

Visas and border measures

Every country or territory decides who can enter or exit through its borders. Make sure you meet all entry and exit conditions. Contact  NZ Immigration  for details about visas, currency, customs and quarantine rules. If you don't meet the conditions, the Australian Government can't help you.

Visa conditions 

Most Australian citizens don’t need a visa to enter unless you have a criminal record or if you've been deported from any country.

Australian permanent residents need to apply online for a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) to enter New Zealand. Australian citizens are exempt from this rule.

For more information refer to the NZ Government Immigration website .

If you've been:

• convicted of any crimes, or
• deported from any country

For more information see the  NZTD website . 

Maritime border

New Zealand's maritime border is open to all vessels, including foreign flagged vessels, cruise ships, recreational vessels (such as yachts and small craft) and specialist vessels used in research and exploration. 

For more information see the  New Zealand Customs Service – Travelling to New Zealand webpage . 

• Travelling to New Zealand  (New Zealand Government)
• Information for visa holders  (New Zealand Immigration)

Some countries won't let you enter unless your passport is valid for 6 months after you plan to leave that country. This can apply even if you're just transiting or stopping over.

New Zealand Immigration requires you to have 3 months of validity on your passport after the date you plan to leave. If you're planning to travel to another destination after leaving New Zealand, you may need more than 3 months validity on your passport after your departure date.

Some foreign governments and airlines apply the rule inconsistently. Travellers can receive conflicting advice from different sources.

You can end up stranded if your passport is not valid for more than 6 months.

The Australian Government does not set these rules. Check your passport's expiry date before you travel. If you're not sure it'll be valid for long enough, consider getting  a new passport .

About Auckland Traffic Cameras

Auckland traffic cameras are a part of the city’s transportation infrastructure aimed at monitoring traffic conditions, improving road safety, and assisting with traffic management. These cameras are strategically placed throughout Auckland’s road network and provide real-time video feeds that are accessible to the public.

The primary purpose of Auckland traffic cameras is to provide information about current traffic conditions. Commuters can use these cameras to check road congestion, incidents, and weather conditions before starting their journey. By accessing the live feeds, drivers can make informed decisions about their routes and potentially avoid congested areas or incidents that may impact their travel time.

The Auckland Transport (AT) website and various traffic monitoring applications provide access to the live video feeds from these cameras. Users can select specific camera locations or view a map to find cameras along their intended route. The camera views typically cover major intersections, highways, and other critical points where traffic conditions are closely monitored.

In addition to assisting drivers, traffic cameras also aid in traffic management and incident response. Authorities can monitor the video feeds to detect accidents, congestion, or any other traffic-related issues promptly. This information enables them to take appropriate actions such as deploying emergency services, adjusting traffic signal timings, or providing timely traffic advisories to alleviate congestion and improve overall traffic flow.

It’s worth noting that while Auckland traffic cameras provide valuable real-time information, they should not be used while driving. It is essential to prioritize safe driving practices and only access these cameras when safely parked or using a passenger’s assistance.

Live Traffic Cameras Auckland: A Window to the City’s Roads

Live traffic cameras act as virtual windows to Auckland’s roads, offering a real-time glimpse of traffic conditions across the city. These cameras, strategically positioned at key locations, provide up-to-date information on congestion, accidents, road closures, and any other incidents that may impact traffic flow. By accessing live feeds from these cameras, commuters can assess the situation on their planned route, make alternate decisions, or simply be better prepared for their journey.

The live traffic cameras cover major intersections, highways, motorways, and other critical points throughout Auckland. They provide a comprehensive view of the road network, allowing commuters to make well-informed decisions based on real-time information. By checking the cameras before their journeys, drivers can plan alternative routes, anticipate potential delays, or choose to avoid congested areas.

Furthermore, live traffic cameras are instrumental in assisting transportation authorities in managing traffic and responding to incidents promptly. By monitoring the camera feeds, authorities can quickly detect accidents, breakdowns, or other road incidents and initiate appropriate actions. This may include dispatching emergency services, adjusting traffic signal timings, or providing timely updates and advisories to the public.

It’s important to note that live traffic cameras should be used responsibly and not accessed while driving. Drivers must prioritize safety and only check the camera feeds when safely parked or with the assistance of a passenger.

In summary, live traffic cameras in Auckland provide a valuable resource for commuters, offering real-time visual information about traffic conditions. By utilizing these cameras, drivers can stay informed, make informed decisions about their routes, and navigate the city’s roads more efficiently. Additionally, transportation authorities can utilize the camera feeds to manage traffic flow, respond to incidents, and ensure the safety and smooth operation of Auckland’s road network.

Auckland Motorway Traffic Cameras: Navigating the City’s Arteries

Auckland motorway traffic cameras are an integral part of the city’s transportation infrastructure, providing real-time video feeds of the motorways to monitor traffic conditions and aid in traffic management. These cameras are strategically positioned along the motorways, capturing live footage of the road network and offering valuable information to commuters and transportation authorities.

The primary purpose of Auckland motorway traffic cameras is to provide up-to-date information about traffic flow, incidents, and road conditions on the motorways. Commuters can access these camera feeds through the Auckland Transport (AT) website, mobile applications, or third-party traffic monitoring services to get a visual understanding of the current state of the motorways before their journeys.

By utilizing the motorway traffic camera feeds, drivers can assess traffic congestion, identify any accidents or disruptions, and make informed decisions about their routes. This enables them to plan alternative paths, avoid congested areas, and potentially save time on their commutes.

The camera views offered by Auckland motorway traffic cameras cover key points along the motorway network, including major interchanges, entrance ramps, and busy sections. This allows drivers to gauge the traffic conditions at specific locations and make route choices accordingly.

Transportation authorities also rely on motorway traffic cameras to monitor the motorways and manage traffic effectively. By analyzing the camera feeds, authorities can detect incidents in real-time, deploy emergency services if necessary, and implement traffic management measures to alleviate congestion and ensure the safety of motorists.

It’s important to note that accessing motorway traffic camera feeds should be done responsibly. Drivers should not use the cameras while driving and should only view the feeds when they are safely parked or with the assistance of a passenger.

In summary, Auckland motorway traffic cameras play a crucial role in providing real-time visual information about traffic conditions on the motorways. By accessing these camera feeds, drivers can make informed decisions about their routes, avoid congestion, and optimize their travel time. Additionally, transportation authorities rely on the camera footage to monitor and manage traffic flow effectively, ensuring the safety and efficiency of Auckland’s motorway network.

Easter travel live updates: Hour-plus journeys across Auckland motorways, three dead in South Island crashes

Share this article

• Truck fire on Southern Motorway blocks lanes near Manukau, creates major delays
• Double-fatal crash closes State Highway 1 in Marlborough, ferry passengers told to prepare for long detour
• Traffic crawling across Auckland motorways with journeys taking three times longer than usual
• Traffic expected to be heavy on motorways out of Auckland and Wellington until later tonight

A person has died after being struck by a vehicle at a property in Christchurch this afternoon.

Emergency services responded to an address on Happy Home Rd in Westmorland about 2.40pm after reports of an incident involving a vehicle and a person.

The person died at the scene and the area has been cordoned off. The Serious Crash Unit is investigating and WorkSafe has been notified.

It comes as holidaymakers heading away early for the Easter break are facing major delays in both the North and South Islands after a spate of crashes and a truck fire in Auckland.

Those leaving Auckland on the Southern Motorway face a slow journey of one hour and 28 minutes, with the journey time worsening in the past hour. In free-flowing conditions the same trip would take 30 minutes.

For travellers heading to the airport from the North Shore, the journey is taking just under 90 minutes, more than triple the usual time.

The travel time from the city to Helensville along the Northwestern Motorway has blown out from the usual 33 minutes to an hour and 26 minutes.

Earlier, motorists travelling on Auckland’s Southern Motorway were asked to consider delaying travel or using an alternate route after a truck caught fire about 11.30am.

The lanes are now clear but NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) warned motorists to expect delays.

Meanwhile, drivers travelling between Blenheim and Christchurch can expect lengthy delays following a double fatal crash on SH1 south of Ward just after 11am. Two others were taken to hospital with moderate injuries. The road remained closed at the crash site at 5pm.

Those travelling to Picton to catch the ferry across Cook Strait are being advised to factor this into their travel plans.

Haast Highway in Tasman, SH6, was also closed this afternoon while emergency services responded to a two-vehicle crash at about 2.30pm.

The road re-opened at about 4.30pm and one person was transported to hospital with moderate injuries.

Police earlier warned motorists they are taking a “firm approach” to unsafe driving over the Easter period.

NZTA says those heading south past the Bombay Hills will hit busier-than-usual traffic from 10.30am and this would not ease off until 9pm.

Motorists were likely to encounter the worst gridlock at lunchtime.

Those heading north out of the city were likely to encounter heavy traffic from 3pm until 6pm.

Director of road policing Superintendent Steve Greally said the nation had a disappointing start to the year on our roads, and preventing unsafe behaviour reduces the trauma and devastation road accidents can cause.

“Our officers will be out patrolling roads throughout Aotearoa over Easter weekend and will follow through the appropriate enforcement action if drivers and riders are deemed to be risking the safety of themselves and others.

“It’s a serious stance we are taking to ensure we don’t see more lives lost on our roads.”

There has been an improvement to date in rates of deaths and serious injuries over February and March, but Greally said we can do better.

“It takes a second to either put your seatbelt on, share an Uber home or have a sober driver on hand, decide to leave that text or call alone, and slow down on any road.

“Any of these will improve the chances of you arriving at your destination safely.”

Greally urged drivers to consider the safety of others and their own when getting behind the wheel.

“Those split-second decisions when driving can put a life in the balance that’s why it’s important not to overlook them whenever or wherever you’re travelling.

The stretch of SH1 over the Brynderwyn Hills, which has been closed since late February for critical restoration work, has been reopened until midnight Tuesday to cater for holiday traffic.

Holidaymakers heading out of the capital were also expected to encounter heavy traffic north of Ōtaki and the Remutaka Hill Rd from 4pm.

Those putting off leaving Auckland today would likely encounter even heavier traffic on Auckland’s southern motorways with predictions of heavy traffic starting at 7.30am and not easing off until 3pm.

The worst period of travel southbound between Manukau to Bombay was expected between 9am and 2pm.

It comes as thousands of travellers leave Auckland Airport today bound for holiday destinations in what will be the airport’s busiest day of the break.

Some 54,000 passengers were expected to fly out from Auckland today on Air New Zealand flights.

NZTA encouraged drivers heading away for the long weekend to “take some simple steps to ensure they get where they’re going safely”.

NZTA regional manager Mark Owen warned drivers to be careful over the long weekend.

“Too often, the holiday period is marked by people being killed or seriously injured on our roads. Road crashes are far too frequent, yet they can be prevented.

“No one likes being stuck in traffic, but it is far better to arrive late than not arrive at all.”

He also urged drivers to ensure they’re rested and to take breaks if they’re making a long trip.

“Driver fatigue is a real danger. One small moment of inattention can have devastating consequences. Drive safe, drive alert.”

Owen recommends people time their travel to avoid peak periods.

“That will make your trip more pleasant and help reduce delays during peak travel times. The NZTA holiday journey planner has all the details on when highways are expected to be busy. Please check it out and use it to plan your trip.”

Transport Minister Simeon Brown said enforcement agencies will be taking a zero-tolerance approach to road users putting themselves and others at risk.

“Stick to the speed limit, don’t drink or take drugs and drive, ensure you are well rested, and plan your journey ahead of time.”

SH1 - between Pūhoi and Wellsford

Traffic will be its heaviest in the afternoon on Thursday from 2.30pm until 6pm.

Roads will be busy from 8am until 4.30pm on Friday.

Traffic is expected to be free-flowing for those heading southbound on Thursday and Friday.

SH1 - Manukau to Bombay

Those beginning their travel on Thursday can expect roads to be busy between 3pm and 6pm.

Traffic will be busy for extended periods on Saturday, between 10am and 6pm.

On Thursday traffic will be heaviest between 11am and 1pm, but busy until 9pm.

Those travelling on Friday might want to leave in the afternoon as traffic is heaviest between 9am and 2pm.

SH2 - Remutaka Hill between Wellington and Featherston

Traffic congestion is expected in and out of Wellington in the lead-up to the holiday weekend.

Wellingtonians will be hitting the road in droves between 4pm and 5pm on Thursday.

Friday will be busy with heavy traffic from 9.30am and 1.30pm.

'extremely dangerous': police hunting for man after fatal ponsonby road shooting.

Police are searching for an "extremely dangerous" man believed to be behind a fatal shooting on Auckland's Ponsonby Road.

A section of Ponsonby Road, between Richmond Road and Franklin has now reopened. Police are continuing to patrol the area.

Detective Inspector Chris Barry said emergency services responded to reports of a gun being fired outside an address on Ponsonby Road about 10.20pm on Sunday.

"Around 10.15pm, a group of four people, including the victim, exited a parked car on Ponsonby Road and walked in the man's direction," Barry said.

He said multiple shots had been fired and police later found the victim dead at the scene .

The group of people who were with the victim at the time of the shooting were co-operating with investigators and were "very upset", he said.

Barry said it was difficult to say whether the multiple shots fired were targeting one person or various people, as the scene examination was still under way.

Police are now hunting a person who they say is extremely dangerous and that members of the public should not approach him.

"If you see him or know who he is, please phone 111 immediately."

Anyone concealing his identity or whereabouts could find themselves facing prosecution, Barry said.

The man is described as being of large build, with dark hair and facial hair, and has a large tattoo on his left forearm.

"Earlier on Sunday evening, this man tried to enter a bar on Ponsonby Road, however was denied entry as it was closing."

The time between the suspect being denied entry and the shooting was a matter of minutes, he said.

After the shooting, he was seen walking south on Ponsonby Road, in direction of Richmond Road.

The motivation behind the shooting was not yet clear, Barry said.

"You can be certain we will piece together why this shocking incident occurred last night."

It was difficult to say yet if the shooting was gang related, Barry said.

Police were aware of the concerns in the community due to the incident.

"We know unease in the community, particularly as police have not yet made an arrest. However, we would like to reassure Ponsonby residents and the wider community that a dedicated police team are working diligently to hold this person to account," Barry said.

Leonie Hynds, who has lived in Ponsonby for 30 years, said the fatal shooting was disturbing news for the community.

"These sort of things seem to be happening more and more around New Zealand, particularly Auckland. The worrying part is the guns."

She said she walked down Ponsonby Road most mornings and hoped the man involved was found.

A post-mortem and formal identification of the man found dead will be carried out over the coming days.

Police scene guards are expected to be stood down later on Monday afternoon, but a police presence will remain in the area.
