Traffic is moving slowly on Auckland's Northern Motorway after crashes caused havoc early on Wednesday. 

Both crashes have been cleared but the NZTA website shows traffic is crawling between Tristram Avenue and the Northcote off-ramp.

NZTA recommends taking extra time to account for delays.

The crashes occurred at 6.26am and 6.49am, blocking the right hand lane travelling towards the city.

Emergency services attended, but there were no reported injuries.

"We received reports of a three-car nose to tail between Tristam Ave and the Northcote off-ramp," a police spokesperson  told Newshub on Wednesday.

"The second was a two-vehicle crash at 6.49am, no reports of injuries that I can see from either."
