Motorists are being warned of ice on the Tauranga Direct Rd at Pyes Pa, which is forcing drivers to navigate State Highway 36 at 30km/h to 50km/h.
Kelsey Duncan, who commutes each day to Tauranga from Rotorua, said the road was covered in ice and it was the worst she
had seen it in three months.
''The entire way was like ice, you couldn't go above 50km/h. Everyone was driving real slow,'' she said.
''You could see it. It was shiny the whole way from start to just before the school.''
