Auckland Traffic Information

Plan ahead and look before you leave at these sites for up-to-the-minute traffic information:

Traffic congestion map

The Auckland Transport congestion map gives you at-a-glance information to help you plan your journey. On the map you can look at different parts of Auckland and zoom in to see congestion on more streets.

Most information on the map refreshes every minute so you'll always have up-to-date information to help you decide if you should hit the road, stay put until traffic is flowing better or choose another transport option.

Click here or on the map to go to the site.

You can also view the traffic webcams, the journey time signs, and the messages on the motorway electronic signs on the map. A separate map shows road works.

Auckland state highway info

Find out the latest conditions of Auckland state highways and those in the rest of the country on the NZTA website.

Overnight motorway closures

Repairs and maintenance are done somewhere on the motorway network most nights. They typically start at 9pm and finish at 5am. Work that is delayed by bad weather is completed on the next available date, often the next night.

Weekly lists of closures are published by Auckland Motorways who maintain the network. Click here to see this week’s list.
