Holiday toll zero, but care urged on roads

As Labour Weekend comes to a close, the road toll in New Zealand remains at zero, a promising start as holidaymakers make their way back home. The New Zealand Transport Agency/Waka Kotahi has issued warnings about expected traffic congestion on highways leading in and out of main urban centers throughout Labour Day.

The official holiday road toll period began on Friday at 4pm and will continue until Tuesday at 6am. If the toll remains at zero, it would mark a record low in recent years. In comparison, six fatalities occurred during the 2023 Labour Weekend period, and the Easter road toll this year was the highest since 2021, with seven lives lost.

Reflecting on past statistics, the lowest Labour Weekend road toll was in 2013, with only one fatality and 109 injuries. Conversely, the worst toll was in 1983, where 13 people lost their lives and 248 were injured, according to the Ministry of Transport.

Transport Agency spokesperson Andy Knackstedt emphasized the importance of road safety, highlighting that even those seriously injured in accidents can face long-lasting impacts. Knackstedt urged drivers to adhere to basic safety measures such as driving at a safe speed, sharing the driving responsibilities, ensuring proper rest, and taking the necessary precautions to reach their destination safely.

Superintendent Steve Greally, director of road policing, assured that law enforcement teams would be actively patrolling roads to uphold safety standards. Greally emphasized the need for vigilance among motorists, stressing that road safety is a collective responsibility that should be observed at all times, especially during long weekends.

As Labour Weekend concludes, the zero road toll serves as a positive indicator of improved road safety practices. With continued vigilance and adherence to safety guidelines, New Zealand aims to maintain a record-low toll and ensure the well-being of all road users.
