Auckland coverage
Auckland is New Zealand's biggest road network — from the Motorways and the Harbour Bridge down to suburban streets and the Waikato commuter routes. Checkpoint Watch surfaces live, community-reported alerts across the whole region.
Community-reported checkpoints on Auckland motorways, arterial routes and around the suburbs — so you can slow down and drive to the conditions.
See reported speed camera locations across Auckland and the surrounding commuter corridors, in general terms — always treat any active speed enforcement as live.
Random breath-testing (RBT) checkpoints are set up and moved often around Auckland. Alerts are community-sourced and expire quickly to stay current.
Congestion, stalled vehicles, debris and other hazards reported by drivers — useful on Auckland's busy routes, especially at peak times.
Coverage isn't limited to the Auckland region — the same live map works everywhere in New Zealand, so it's with you on the commute, a trip to Waikato or a longer roadie south.
Why Auckland drivers use it

A clean, real-time map that auto-centres on you — watch Auckland around you and the whole country at a glance.
Background monitoring notifies you when you're within 5 km of a reported checkpoint. No need to keep the app open while you drive.
