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.

The viability of blending high polished stone value (PSV) sealing chips with standard chips in two-coat seals and void fills was investigated, with particular emphasis on their physical performance with respect to abrasion and skid resistance.

Accident prediction models have been developed for rural and urban intersections and links.

The project was aimed at improving overtaking lane design through a better understanding of driver behaviour during overtaking.

The effects of frost and ice on the skid resistance of a range of road surface types used in New Zealand were examined in a laboratory-based study, carried out in 2001-02.

Between September 2001 and June 2002, research was carried out to determine the safety implications of flush medians at 50 sites in Auckland City, New Zealand.

This report presents the results of a research programme involving two phases.

Stage 2 of Transfund New Zealand's research project on assessing passing opportunities builds on initial work that investigated ways in which improved passing opportunities can be provided and analysed.

The report details the safety benefits achieved by the installation of median barriers on the New Zealand motorway system.
