Road Type:

State Highway 1 — Northland's southern gateway

Visibility From Both Directions:

This SH1 site at Waipū captures traffic travelling in both directions — doubling your daily impressions and putting your brand in front of everyone entering and leaving Northland by road.

Waipū sits on State Highway 1, the main route into Northland from Auckland. That makes this one of the first boards travellers see as they arrive, and the last as they head home — reaching tourists, freight, weekenders and commuters at the region's southern gateway.

It's also the turn-off for Waipū Cove, Langs Beach and the Bream Bay coast, and the through-route to Mangawhai and the Bay of Islands — so you reach holiday and coastal traffic right as they arrive, in an exploring, spending frame of mind.

With an estimated 8,962 vehicles a day, this is the highest-traffic single site on our network — reliable, high-volume exposure to a broad regional audience, year-round.

Our elevated roadside billboard trailers are positioned to maximise line-of-sight visibility, helping your message stand out clearly to passing vehicles throughout the day.

Mobile Billboard Advertising in Waipū

Waipū is the southern gateway to Northland — the point on State Highway 1 where traffic from Auckland enters the region. That makes it one of the most valuable places to put your brand in front of a high-volume audience, with everyone driving north passing this single stretch of road. Our SH1 site here carries an estimated 8,962 vehicles a day, in both directions.

Our movable billboard trailers give you that captive audience without the long-term commitment of a fixed digital site. With a double-sided 6 m × 3 m advertising surface elevated for clear sight lines, your message reaches motorists on the main road north — tourists heading to Waipū Cove, Langs Beach and the Bream Bay coast, weekenders bound for Mangawhai and the Bay of Islands, freight moving through the region, and locals on their daily run.

Whether you're a local Waipū or Bream Bay business looking to grow your customer base, a tourism or hospitality operator wanting to catch visitors as they arrive, or a national brand testing a Northland campaign, mobile billboards offer flexibility you can't get from print, radio or social media. Roadside Reach handles the full job — printing, installation, site management and compliance — so you can focus on running your business.

Why This Location Works

The Southern Gateway to Northland

Waipū sits on State Highway 1 at the point where traffic from Auckland enters Northland — there's no way around it for anyone driving north. That makes this one of the first boards travellers see arriving in the region, and the last as they head home, giving your brand a true regional footprint from a single placement.

Nearly 9,000 Vehicles a Day, Both Directions

Our Waipū site sees an estimated 8,962 vehicles a day — the highest-traffic single position on our network. Because the board is double-sided, it catches this traffic both ways: heading north into Northland and back south toward Auckland. Every passing vehicle sees a face, day after day, and that repetition is exactly what drives brand recall.

Gateway to the Coast and the North

Waipū is the turn-off for Waipū Cove, Langs Beach and the Bream Bay coast, and the through-route to Mangawhai, the Bay of Islands and the Far North. That means you don't just reach locals — you catch tourists, holidaymakers and weekenders right as they arrive, in an exploring, spending frame of mind. For tourism, hospitality, retail and events, it's a high-value seasonal audience most advertising can't reach.

Is this billboard double-sided?

Are both sides able to display different advertisements?

Yes — each side can display the same design or different messages, depending on your campaign requirements. Talk to us about what suits you.

Can the artwork be changed during the campaign?

Yes — artwork can be updated during a longer campaign. As each board uses a printed skin, a change means printing and fitting a new one, so there's a print cost and a little lead time. Just let us know what you need.
