The NZ Transport Agency is charged with taking an integrated approach to land transport planning.

Modified bituminous materials can be used to advantage on roads that are subject to high stress, such as on heavily trafficked sections, sharp bends, and bridge decks, or to wide variations of temperatures.

The purpose of this research was to develop improved approaches to assessing the costs of urban traffic congestion and to make corresponding estimates of the costs of congestion in Auckland (New Zealand).

Little social research on rural access to transport in rural communities has been carried out in New Zealand.

In most cities and towns, the majority of crash black-spots occur at major intersections.

Interest in the application of macroscopic models for the description of improvements in traffic safety has increased since the early 1980s.

Every three years, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency prepares a Road Safety Partnership Programme (RSPP) in consultation with the NZ Police.

The research identified how the physical noise and vibration generated by traversing ATP roadmarkings was influenced by the properties of the roadmarkings, such as their height, width and pitch, as well as by other factors, such as vehicle speed.

This research, undertaken 2008–10, investigated the comparative safety of multi-lane roundabouts versus signalised intersections, pedestrian facilities, vertical deflection devices and visibility to the right.
