Traffic is building up around the county as New Zealanders struggle to make it home on Queen's Birthday weekend.
In addition to the normal long queues, their journeys have been hindered by flooding and slips after a weekend of relentless bad weather.

Northland, Auckland, Coromandel and the Bay of Plenty have been hit by heavy rain, covering roads with water and debris. Further south, black ice and snow is a continual threat for motorists.
Several people have already fallen victim to the conditions, with multiple roads blocked earlier on Monday after crashes.
The NZ Transport Agency has set up a traffic hot spot map, showing the areas which are the traditional long weekend congestion points here, as well as predicted peak times.
"Going online to plan your journey before getting on the road reduces the chance of experiencing delays during high traffic flows on the highway," the NZTA says.
"Our online real-time highway information service will tell you whether there are any travel warnings or closures ahead. You can also check out the cameras to see how traffic is moving in and out of the city."
Where to be extra patient and cautious:

Motorists face delays on SH11 from Paihia to Kawakawa to Lemon's Hill after a large slip. One lane of the highway is currently open while work continues to clear the slip.
