One of the data collection initiatives implemented by Transit New Zealand and local governments around New Zealand is the Austroads Travel Time performance programme. This programme provides travel time performance information on strategic routes along state highways and arterial roads. A performance indicator known as the congestion indicator (CGI) was adopted to allow a comparison of the performance of the monitored network with New Zealand's other main centres, as well as Australian centres. Currently this programme is implemented in Auckland, Wellington, Tauranga and Christchurch. This paper reports on the resulting trends uncovered by the congestion monitoring programme and suggests applications of these performance information to improve the efficiency of road network.
