Waikato and BOP drivers being urged to take care over Queens
Birthday and winter months
| NZ Transport Agency
The NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) is reminding drivers in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions to drive to the conditions in the coming months as winter settles in. For road travellers, winter (usually between June and August) can be the most dangerous time of the year. The NZTA is also expecting higher traffic volumes during Queens Birthday this weekend, with the three-day break being the last significant public holiday until Labour Weekend in October.
