Western Bay of Plenty police are pleased motorists in the area did not add to the country's long weekend road toll.
Five people died on the roads over Labour weekend. The fatal crashes were in Waikato, Whangārei, Auckland and Southland.
Senior Sergeant Mark Pakes said police were happy there
were no fatal crashes on Western Bay roads over the weekend.
"This year the focus was on sharing the road, encouraging drivers to keep themselves and others safe by paying attention to their driving and their surroundings," he said.
"This advice applies at all times, not just long weekends."
