To meet our emission reduction targets we need to encourage a radical increase in the number of people using active modes of transportation, including walking and cycling, and achieve a reduction of 20 percent in travel by light vehicles by 2035.
We know that many cyclists don’t feel safe cycling on busy public roads. We also know that intersections are the most dangerous location for all road users, but especially for cyclists, pedestrians, and the users of other smaller vehicles, such as e-scooters or mopeds. In Auckland, 50 percent of crashes involving mopeds are with other vehicles that were turning.
We need to make sure that people can move easily and safely, using all modes of transport. We know that separating the different modes through the creation of cycle lanes, for example, can be a good solution to improve safety, but this is not possible in all locations.
We are looking for innovative solutions that take advantage of new technology and data to help people using different modes of transport to use the same spaces in a safe and efficient way.
