Through our commitment to Road to Zero 2020-30, New Zealand’s road safety strategy, we are working to create a safe transport system for everyone, with wellbeing of people at its heart.
Road to Zero – NZ’s road safety strategy
Road to Zero adopts Vision Zero and is guided by the Safe System approach. We have developed a range of resources to help road safety practitioners apply the principles of Vision Zero and the Safe System approach in their roles.
We'll be adding to this section over time and are looking for ideas and feedback, email us at roadtozero@nzta.govt.nz
Vision Zero videos
Videos designed to support conversations about Vision Zero with transport planners, those who work in road design and management, those who work in road safety promotion, and key decision makers and communities.
Vision Zero for planners
The role planners play in creating a safe road system, and examples of how they can apply Safe System principles.
Vision Zero for engineers
The role engineers play in implementing and maintaining the Safe System, and how they can apply Safe System principles.
Safe system case studies
Case studies covering interventions and solutions that show the safe system principles in action. The case studies provide information on successful safe system interventions, including cost, effectiveness and lessons learnt.
Standard safety intervention toolkit
Guidance for road practitioners of all types and levels of professional experience. The toolkit includes photographic examples of individual standard safety interventions and, for most treatments, there are technical references provided.
Road safety hardware
Effective road safety hardware such as permanent and temporary barrier systems, frangible lighting columns and breakaway devices are used to provide forgiving roads and roadsides.
Speed management guide
A national framework that helps road controlling authorities (RCAs) make informed, accurate and consistent speed management decisions in their communities.
