4. Deliver a safe transport system for everyone

Our Key Principles are:

• We will partner with Government to implement adopted road safety strategies so that no one should be killed or seriously injured on our roads
• Infrastructure improvements and ensuring safe and appropriate speeds will be central to our approach
• Driver education will also be supported.

What will we do?

• Ensure a proactive approach to implementing national road safety strategies
• Improve infrastructure for cyclists, pedestrians, mobility scooter users and others to increase the attractiveness of active transport
• Improve pedestrian and cyclist safety to schools, and work with schools to encourage walking and cycling
• Be prepared for improvements required as demand for active transport increases.
• Continue to review speed limits and implement changes to ensure they are safe and appropriate, prioritising areas where the greatest safety benefit can be realised.
• Identify and prioritise road safety improvements at key locations for all transport modes.
• Review local road safety initiatives to improve road user education and behaviour.
• Ensure that transportation projects are proactively aligned with Waka Kotahi Safe System Principles.
