Cycling is a sustainable mode of travel and an alternative to motor vehicle trips, particularly for shorter trips.

The management of speed is considered an important safety issue at roundabouts.

This study reports on a New Zealand-wide evaluation of road surfaces for reflection properties relevant to road lighting design.

Drink-driving is a serious road safety issue, particularly in the rural environment, with a significant number of road users killed or injured on rural roads annually.

This report presents a road geometry survey of the New Zealand highway system and the subsequent use of the data to model the relationship between highway features and relative crash risk.

One hundred and thirty participants (70 males, 60 females), aged between 18 and 40, took part in this research to test the relative conspicuity of eight different test-garments.

A key element of the Safer Journeys national road safety strategy is safer speeds.

The purpose of the research was to establish a quantitative picture of the type and the extent of drugged driving in New Zealand and investigate the level of driving impairment produced by the most commonly used drugs, both legal and illegal.

Making urban cycling a safer and more attractive transport choice is now a NZ Transport Agency strategic priority.

This report details a framework for rationally arriving at economically justifiable operating speed reductions to compensate for the inability to achieve recommended levels of skid resistance on high-risk curves.
