"They too want to complete the work as soon as possible and return the road to normal operation. It is important to comply with traffic management signage and any directions from crews, who are out there in varying weather conditions, doing their best and working as efficiently as possible.
"Crews are conscious of trying to keep traffic moving whenever possible. This is unacceptable, crews are doing their best and do not deserve to be on the receiving end of this type of behaviour. "We unfortunately continue to hear reports of poor behaviour from road users towards crews. When driving long distances consider sharing time at the wheel, and ensure you take regular breaks. This will all help ensure a safe journey. Roger says now it’s winter, and while it’s darker and often wet, it’s a good time to consider how the change of season can affect driving conditions by maintaining greater following distances between your vehicle and the one in front, slowing down and being prepared for unexpected hazards. We expect heavier than usual traffic around the Coromandel Peninsula on SH25, particularly near Tairua.” “In the Waikato, delays are predicted on SH1 between Tīrau and Karāpiro, SH2 from Pokeno to Maramarua. “Bay of Plenty motorists should be prepared for heavy traffic on State Highway 2 between Paeroa and Waihī, Tauranga and Katikati and on SH29 over the Kaimai Range,” says Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency Bay of Plenty System Manager Roger Brady. Mixed weather is ahead for Kings Birthday in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty, and heavy traffic is expected in the usual hotspots as people head away for the long weekend.
