Horse and buggy mostly over there isn't it

On a more srious note, A lot depends where, out of matiatia and wherever it is the car ferry comes in there is a fair amount due to ferry traffic. Most traffic at matiatia is morning/evening for commuters.

"high" traffic would be in oneroa.

The road out to Onetangi is 80 or 100 kmh and a fair bit goes out there.

Yeah i thought ferry times would be something to consider.

Good to know there are 70kmh and over.

I was there about 6 months ago but cant remember what it was like at night as thats when i was there. Want to do some work in the day so i can see where i have been and take in some scenery ;)

cheers

Yeah this sounds about right. Pretty sure road to onetangi is now 70km, dont think there is any 100km on the island anymore.

Oneroa does get busy, but waiheke busy is barely comparable to auckland busy :lol:

Definately an awesome place to go, i love it over there.
