NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) would like to advise you of the following important maintenance programme:

Commercial Vehicle Safety Programme – Auckland Port area

This work is part of a nationwide project called the Commercial Vehicle Safety Programme (CVSP), formally known as Weigh Right, which is developing an integrated network of cameras, weigh-in-motion scales and safety centres covering strategic routes across New Zealand.

The programme aims to ensure a level playing field for the industry, encourage compliant vehicle productivity, and improve road safety through targeted enforcement.
