Default Auckland Traffic!
I took some friends to the airport this morning, we hit Auckland at 6am and - yes - got stuck in a traffic jam! When you think that the turning off the motorway for Manakau (where the Airport is) is some 30kms away from Auckland, then you have a city with traffic issues!! It was like the middle of the day, with the amount of traffic around. 3 lanes at crawling pace. Luckily our turning wasnt too far off the tail end of the jam.

There was barely a soul around in Hamilton

Good grief! You must have been up at about 4 a.m. or did you just not go to bed? I know you're not exactly a morning person .
