Hugging is okay, but do it fairly quickly.

A small airport in New Zealand has taken an unusual step – a three-minute limit on hugs at the drop-off area. This is to avoid traffic jams again.

”"For a more extensive farewell, please use the parking lot," travelers, relatives and friends are asked on the sign with the message "Maximum hugging time 3 minutes" at the top.

Reaction to the new signs at Dunedin Airport on the country's South Island has been swift. They were put up last month.

“We have been accused of violating basic human rights and asked what kind of people we are to try to set a limit on how long you can hug,” says airport manager Dan De Bono.

So what happens to those who hug for too long in the wrong place?

– We will not have any riot police, says the airport manager.
