Police are reminding the public New Zealand remains at alert level 4 this long weekend.

Police will continue to enforce the current restrictions until 11.59pm Monday when the country moves to alert level 3.

In a statement, police said they would remain highly visible in communities and on roads over Anzac weekend, including checkpoints at holiday hot spots to minimise non-essential travel.

Although there had been 75 per cent less traffic, there had still been deaths on New Zealand roads.

The Ministry of Transport confirmed this afternoon 12 people had died on our roads since the level 4 lockdown began. A 13th person died in a crash near Levin this evening.

Respect for all road users has been called for, especially those more vulnerable such as pedestrians and cyclists.

They reminded anyone undertaking essential travel to drive or ride to the conditions, stay within the speed limit, wear a seatbelt or helmet, not to use a phone, and only drive sober and alert.

"Now is not the time for complacency."

Stay local, maintain your bubbles and adhere to the restrictions around exercise and outdoor activities, to place in the country in good stead to head into level 3.

Police would focus on supporting New Zealanders and making sure they are safe, protected and informed through all alert levels.
