Since becoming part of the New Zealand landscape, state highways have provided a convenient way to get to work, do business and generally get around. Providing for the movement of people and freight is an important part of our contribution to the economy. It’s our responsibility to ensure the highways continue to do this, by operating the network effectively and efficiently and ensuring a safe, predictable driving environment. Our work involves addressing congestion and ensuring roads can be used by a range of transport types, and are reliable and accessible for both people and freight.
