How we developed the NZGTTM

We talked with construction companies, local councils, community groups and other stakeholders to understand road safety challenges and test the principles of the new guidance. 

The draft guide was shared for wider sector feedback during March – April 2022. The NZGTTM feedback summary report outlines the key themes.

Version 1 of the NZGTTM also includes feedback, input and safety practices from NZTA’s construction and maintenance partners to help improve safety on our roads.

Pilots were led in the following areas to test the new risk-based guidance and help finalise version 1 of the NZGTTM:

  • Northland - Fulton Hogan.
  • Marlborough Roads (State Highways only) – Fulton Hogan and HEB.
  • North Canterbury – Downer.
  • Westlink – WSP.
  • Manawatu – Higgins.

We’ll continue to refine the guide as we apply the new risk-based approach to construction and maintenance work sites on our state highway network as well as through bespoke trials and innovation projects.
