Snow Impacts South Island Highways as Weather System Approaches

Snow is falling on South Island highways, creating potential driving hazards. A wintry blast is set to affect the North Island as well.

The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) has warned drivers in the South Island to exercise caution due to snow on the roads. The adverse weather is expected to make travel difficult in affected areas.

As this cold front moves towards the North Island, weather conditions may deteriorate further. Motorists are advised to stay updated on weather forecasts and road conditions before travelling.

Safety reminders include ensuring vehicles are equipped for winter driving and giving extra time for journeys. The NZTA urges everyone to prioritise safety during this wintry weather.
