Tauranga residents are reporting traffic mayhem in the city as people battle to get to work and school this morning.

One resident, who did not want to be named, said it took her at least 20 minutes to get out of Ohauiti Rd.

“And that was just from the
bus stop down past the garden centre.

“Cars were leaving the line and turning around to try an alternative route.”
