The Accident Countermeasures Research project provides information about the accident reductions that could be expected under New Zealand conditions if particular accident countermeasures are implemented.

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.

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.

Recommendations are presented for adjustments to the procedures used by Transit New Zealand for determining accident savings from road improvements for project evaluation.

Ice, frost, snow, fog and high wind are relatively common hazards on many New Zealand roads, and road weather information systems (RWIS) could be expected to make a significant contribution to road safety.

National accident records and road description databases are used to calculate accident rates (expressed as the number of reported injury accidents per 100 million kilometres) for some selected types of road.

The Transit New Zealand Project evaluation manual (1996) outlined the procedures to be adopted when evaluating roading projects in New Zealand.

This study explores the patterns of cycle use and collisions among adults and school students in Christchurch, New Zealand.
