Questions

New Zealand traffic — FAQ

Are there any accidents or road closures in New Zealand right now?
Yes. The official feed lists 12 active incidents on New Zealand roads as of 06:15 UTC on 12 October 2026. The list on this page shows each one in the authority's own words.
Where does this New Zealand traffic information come from?
Directly from NZTA. The site reads the published feed every 15 minutes and keeps only incidents: crashes, closures, disabled vehicles, debris, flooding and similar hazards. Planned roadworks and maintenance are filtered out.
What should I do if I see a crash in New Zealand?
If anyone is hurt or the road is blocked, call 111. Move to a safe place away from traffic before calling, give the road name, direction and nearest junction or exit, and do not stop in live lanes to take photos.
Why are some incidents missing from the map?
Only incidents the authority publishes with coordinates can be mapped. Some reports carry only a road name, and incidents on local streets are often handled by police without appearing in the highway feed. News reports of accidents appear separately on the New Zealand accidents today page.

Incident text is quoted from the publishing authority and remains its copyright. Coordinates are as published. Feed health for every source: status · methodology.
