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.

The Transport Agency commissioned Navigatus Consulting to undertake this research project to identify and provide evidence-based recommendations for managing priority safety risks for New Zealand rail operations.

This research report presents a review of overseas legislation, technology trends, market and safety analyses for low-powered, low-speed vehicles.

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.

The majority of fatal and serious crashes in New Zealand occur on rural two-lane roads.

The purpose of this research was to develop a cost management tool that would assist road controlling authorities and their consultants to prioritise delineation treatments that have added safety benefits compared with standard road markings.

Between July 2004 and February 2006, research was continued on the safety implications of flush medians in Auckland, New Zealand.

Research carried out in 2008-2010 examined the quantum and causes of non-motor vehicle injuries to pedestrians through a structured interview survey.

The overall research objective was to evaluate changes in pedestrian safety and traffic efficiency from installing pedestrian countdown timers.
