    Plan for busy roads this long-weekend

    Plan for busy roads this long-weekend


    The New Zealand Transport Agency warn traffic flow could be heavy over the next couple of days.

    There were queues of cars on state highways last night, as people went on holiday.

    Chief Executive Andy Knackstedt is reminding people to follow safety advice.

    He says the message is to take your time, plan your journey, keep your speed down and just stay safe.
