Watch: Adorable video shows family of ducks crossing Auckland's Northern Motorway

Auckland commuters showed their softer side this morning after stopping to allow a family of ducks to cross the motorway.

The New Zealand Transport Agency caught the heart-warming moment on one of its traffic cameras shortly before 8am.

The video shows three lanes of traffic coming to a halt to allow the family to make their way across Auckland's busy Northern Motorway.

The NZTA said that police had escorted the duck and her ducklings to safety.

So cool. So Kiwi. 🐣☺️ https://t.co/VmIMk8xSsw
