Waka Kotahi has adopted the NSW RMS Guide to Slope Risk Analysis V4 dated April 2014 for the assessment of slopes above the road.

The purpose of the RUB is to standardise urban bus requirements across regional councils and Auckland Transport (AT) to create efficiencies and improve the usability and accessibility of buses for all customers.

This guidance note will focus on the types of wayfinding signs, their design and uses.

The Aotearoa urban street planning and design guide (the Street Guide) draws on national and international best-practice to provide a framework for well-functioning urban environments.

Selecting an appropriate crossing facility type including the supporting aids requires a comprehensive and context sensitive approach.

Having route and destination (‘wayfinding’) signage is important in promoting facilities and making them user friendly.

Barriers (to prevent falls) and fences may be necessary safety features on cycle routes, however they can be a hazard in their own right, or impact negatively on landscape values.

This guidance identifies the main infrastructure-related challenges faced by disabled riders in New Zealand, along with design solutions that make cycling more accessible.
