UPDATED 4.27PM: It's the usual end of the long weekend crawl for holidaymakers heading back into Auckland after the Labour weekend break.

Holiday traffic is heavy in patches heading into Auckland from the north, with queues on State Highway 1 near Wellsford and Warkworth.

In north Waikato, an earlier crash at Taupiri has added to delays northbound to Huntly, and also slowed traffic southbound through the area.

It has been cleared, but traffic is expected to remain heavy in the area until at least 6.

Traffic on State Highway 2 is still moving slowly between Maramarua and Mangatawhiri.

It's slow going on Auckland's Southern Motorway heading into the city.

A breakdown which had caused hold-ups at Spaghetti Junction in central Auckland has since been cleared and the backlog of traffic is clearing.
