News from NZTA Motorists travelling on their summer holidays in or out of Wellington are being urged to plan ahead, drive with care and be aware of construction sites on state highways throughout the region.
Most Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency work sites will close from 23 December to 4 January to leave the roads clear for holiday traffic, but there will still be temporary speed limits and road cones at the work sites or where there has been recent road resurfacing.
“Traffic management, such as temporary speed limits, signs and cones, is used to alert road users to a change in the road layout or to pre-warn travellers of work sites ahead, so look out for the signs and take extra care in the lead up to Christmas and during the holiday period,” Regional Transport Systems Manager Mark Owen says.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is advising road users of overnight on and off ramp closures on State Highway 1 (SH1) between Porirua and Newlands in the week commencing Monday 14 December 2020.
The closures will allow crews to install new signs and paint new road markings on SH1 ramps at Tawa, Churton Park, Johnsonville and Newlands.
Regional Transport Systems Manager Mark Owen says the works are part of ongoing improvements to the regional transport network.
“We know that there are small changes we can make that will help improve the reliability and efficiency of the transport network,” Mr Owen says.
