The goal of the present research, carried out between July 2004 and June 2005 was to identify and develop New Zealand speed management approaches that influence drivers' speed choices by manipulating road features that evoke correct expectations…

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.

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

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.

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

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 …
