This report presents the results of a 4-year research programme (from 2000 to 2003) involving a combination of field, laboratory based, and statistical modelling studies undertaken to identify critical aggregate properties from the perspective of in-…

Speed is a major contributing factor in fatal and serious crashes in the rural environment (35% of fatal and 28% of serious crashes in 2003).

Recent government legislation and policy promotes an increase in walking and cycling as an alternative to the increasing demand for motor vehicle travel.

This study, carried out in 2004 at the Traffic and Road Safety Research Laboratory, University of Waikato, assessed driver reactions to 16 road hazard warning signs of various formats.

This research project explores concerns about personal security by users of public transport.

The New Zealand government is seeking to reduce the number of road crashes that arise from driver fatigue in this country.

Horizontal curves have been recognised as a significant safety issue for many years, a more important factor than road width, vertical clearance or sight distance.

Research was carried out between 2005 and 2006 to determine if there were benefits or disbenefits associated with sealing unsealed roads, and if so, to determine a procedure for calculating the accident savings (or costs).

Research carried out in 2001 examined the causes of cycle crashes on roads, footpaths, and cycle ways throughout New Zealand, through a survey of injured cyclists.

This study was an investigation to see whether the process of cycle audit and cycle review developed by the Institution of Highways and Transportation in the United Kingdom should be introduced in New Zealand.
