Transverse road markings as a speed mitigation device may be a cost-effective method of reducing fatal and serious injury crashes as a consequence of speeding on a high-speed hazard approach.

The purpose of this research, carried out between 2008 and 2010, was to investigate the evidence for prioritising school travel initiatives, and to develop an evidence-based toolkit for the design of school travel systems, to supplement existing scho…

Traditionally, treatment of frost, ice and snow on New Zealand roads has involved spreading of mineral grit on the affected areas but this has disadvantages.

The research systematically compared the driving performance and conversational patterns of drivers speaking with in-car passengers, handsfree cellphones, and remote passengers who could see the driver’s current driving situation (via a window into a…

Multi-lane roundabouts are typically viewed by cyclists as one of the most hazardous types of intersections to negotiate and police crash statistics bear this out.

The Australian/New Zealand standard Lighting for roads and public spaces, part 3.1: pedestrian area (category P) lighting - performance and design requirements (AS/NZS 1158.3.1:2005) sets out specifications for pedestrian lighting.

A rapid method has been developed to evaluate the night lighting conditions at a road site in terms of the performance values of the Road Lighting Code.

A comparison of the road accident rates between five cities in New Zealand was undertaken between 1989 and 1991.

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.
