The Pedestrian planning and design guide published in 2009, was New Zealand's first comprehensive official guide to planning and design for walking.
|
It has now been superseded by the draft Pedestrian Network Guidance (PNG): |
Some sections of the PNG are still in development and will be released later this year. If you cannot currently find the information you are seeking in the draft PNG then contact the PNG team for assistance (png@nzta.govt.nz).
Providing for walking is governed by legal requirements, policies and planning instruments such as strategies and plans, and the social, transport and administrative context in which walking occurs.
Strategic plans for walking work best when supported by broader strategies and policies that value the contribution walking can make to liveable communities.
While this section looks mostly at the bigger picture, walking happens at a local scale where community walking plans can be used to address the local needs.
