This page will have information relevant to freight, including high productivity motor vehicles (HPMV) and over-dimension vehicles. It will be added to as information becomes available.
There are two useful website links for freight to use including:
Full HPMV network online map(external link)

If you are using SH1, you need to stick to the official detours.
HPMV restrictions have been lifted on SH4 for the duration of this project. Monitoring of the road will be ongoing to ensure it is safe. Those doing long-haul trips will find this route a very good option.
We have received feedback of some poor driving behaviours on the above detours; pertinent to heavies is the feedback that there have been a few instances reported/witnessed of trucks taking corners too quickly, resulting in crossing the centreline while traversing the corner. Many of the detour routes can be relatively windy and narrow in places, so please drive to the environment.
