The empty streets of Auckland during lockdown | The Spinoff

In an effort to contain the spread of Covid-19, New Zealand is officially in lockdown. With people instructed to stay at home, Auckland's streets, schools and parks are near empty. Watch as our camera travels through Queen Street, Dominion Road, Onehunga Mall, the Western Motorway and Waterview Tunnel.
Footage supplied, in full compliance with guidelines for essential services, by:
Swish Studios, Bayley Broome Peak and Steve Gulik

    Not sure when this footage was shot, as I live close to the bridge that spans the motorway exit, the Westmere tunnel and have noticed roads are still busy, all hours. The motorway heading into tunnel (north and south) and surrounding streets. There is too much traffic on the roads, people aren't taking lockdown seriously.

    Um I live in Auckland and every single day I have gone out to drive to work, I have seen busy roads full of people and cars. I do shift work and I have seen heaps of cars at all sorts of hours. You can't tell me that even half of them are essential workers or going to the supermarket all at the same time! People need to take the lockdown seriously, I am only saying this because the more people go out the higher the transmission rates will be. This could by extension hurt my own loved ones, I don't care if people hurt themselves but find another way to do it without endangering my loved ones.

    They must of taken this early early in the morning or on a sunday because as an essential worker who drives from south akl to balmoral daily, Ive never seen dominion rd empty like that during the lockdown. There are nearly always people out & about sometimes even when I drive home late at night🤷‍♀️. Southside on the other hand is pretty quiet (well in my area) Ive seen ppl exercising & heard the odd hoon driving down the street but thats about it.

Started work 6pm driving truck manukau onehunga downtown wharf etc and there still a few cars on road. However less than last week and much less roadworks. Not eerie like how video shows but if continues could be true.
