This report documents an investigative pilot study into the potential use of Transits traffic monitoring system in assessing passing demand on rural twolane state highways. The pilot study area consisted of the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions for which MetroCount traffic data for one week in 2006 were analysed for over 90 sites and almost 180 directional files.

A number of alternative intersection layouts are used around the country to reduce traffic delays and to improve road safety. One such group of alternative intersections are termed ‘priority controlled seagull intersections’. Seagull intersections

Given that the safety impacts of traffic management measures, including their effect on traffic speed, have been reasonably wellestablished, we wanted to explore the potential impact of such treatments on mode choice and travel behaviour such as

particular classes of traffic, typically buses and high occupancy vehicles are permitted to use the lane. Vehicles eligible to use special vehicle lanes typically represent only a limited part of the total traffic flow, resulting in lower and more

The impacts of petrol price changes on petrol consumption, traffic volume and public transport patronage in New Zealand are discussed. Based on this evidence and that from Australia and other countries, a set of ‘best estimate’ petrol price

. Over the next thirteen years, the daily traffic flow on the bridge increased from 10,000 vehicles per day (vpd) to 27,500 vpd because of the continued strong residential development across the harbour from the city centre. The removal of the toll in

This specification sets out requirements for edge marker posts (EMPs) as used in the delineation of state highways in accordance with the Traffic Control Devices Manual, Parts 4 and 5. EMPs used on the state highway must be on the current acceptance

worthy projects will get funding ahead of better projects due to the use of inconsistent methods of estimating cycling demand. This research project compared cycle traffic flows after facilities have been built with predictions and with cycle traffic
