Abstract

New Zealand appears to be experiencing significant and increasing traffic congestion problems. This is particularly the case in Auckland where it has been estimated that the economic cost is in excess of $1billion. This paper discusses the introduction of congestion monitoring in New Zealand in an attempt to quantify the extent and location of traffic congestion. The methodology used was the Austroads approach with some adaptation for New Zealand conditions. The results of the first year's surveys in Auckland and Wellington are discussed. Some problems that have been experienced in undertaking the surveys are commented on, as are possible future steps to overcome the problems.
