Some families have spent up to 10 hours stuck in traffic caused by delays at Auckland s level-3 Covid-19 checkpoints.
One woman, who didn t want to be named, said she d been in traffic south of Auckland for six hours on Sunday - and the overall trip was nearing nine hours.
She left Rotorua at 1pm and still hadn t reached the Auckland southern border checkpoint by 10pm. I have not gone above 5km, I have crawled.
Checkpoints swamped: 23,000 vehicles in a day lead to up to 10-hour delays
