The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) is putting in new
webcams which will allow commuters to check how congested
traffic is before they travel.
The new webcams will be placed along State Highway 1 in the
North Island and will add to a network of cameras operating
in the main centres.
NZTA's regional director Jenny Chetwynd said: "The online
pictures give people the opportunity to view real time
conditions, avoid congestion, and to have smoother and safer
journeys.
"The extra cameras will allow people to make their own
decisions about when they should travel."
The cameras automatically refresh every 60 seconds and can be
accessed through the NZTA website.
The new cameras will be put in at major traffic back spots at
Otaki, Waiouru and Paremata, north of Porirua. All should be
online within the next two weeks.
