Query current official NZTA state-highway events, travel-time signs, traffic cameras, and variable-message signs. Use for bounded live highway-condition lookups; read-only and not a complete safety source.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# NZTA Highway Info ## Goal Run bounded, read-only lookups against NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi's public Traffic and Travel API v4 for current state-highway events, traffic-camera metadata and image URLs, displayed travel times, and variable-message signs. This is a situational-information aid, not a complete or safety-critical source. Conditions can change after retrieval. For a critical journey, confirm against the official NZTA Journey Planner, roadside signs, closures, emergency services, and relevant local council sources. The frontmatter's MIT licence covers this skill's code and documentation only. The source catalogue currently marks the NZTA dataset non-open and supplies no licence id, title, or URL. Read-only current queries remain bounded here, but reuse or republication of source data requires separate due diligence and, where needed, permission from NZTA. ## Use this when - A user asks about current NZ state-highway incidents, hazards, closures, or works - A user needs public NZTA traffic-camera status or current image URLs - A user asks what a variable-message sign currently displays - A user wants displayed travel-time estimates from Traffic Information …

How to install
mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/nzta-highway-info@sha256:8eaafdd67bf9d54bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.1c4d5c1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
