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

The Safe System approach to road safety implies the goal of removing fatal and serious injury crashes from our road network.

In this research project, the innovative 'hands-on' method, first developed by Walton and Thomas in 2005, was tested in its ability to evaluate the effects of improved road delineation on driver behaviour.

This report describes the development and application of a tool to establish a framework for rail participants to explore their current strengths and weaknesses for SPAD risk reduction and to provide the New Zealand Transport Agency with an overview …

Research undertaken to inform the High risk intersections guide showed there was a higher risk of death and serious injury at some urban signalised intersections than at other intersections using the same control types.

This study aimed to determine how to cost-effectively improve safety for people who cycle on low-volume rural roads in New Zealand.

This project investigated the effect of different maximum trip speeds for six New Zealand routes.

Roadmarkings are provided on roads to give guidance of the route ahead.

This research, which was carried out in New Zealand in 2013, used computer simulation modelling to identify whether it is better to rectify or replace existing roadside crash barriers that are of substandard height or are corroded, or to install new …

Detailed observations of air quality and local meteorology were conducted on either side of a stretch of the Auckland southern motorway, and in the surrounding residential neighbourhood.
