Roadmarkings are provided on roads to give guidance of the route ahead.

A number of alternative intersection layouts are used around the country to reduce traffic delays and to improve road safety.

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 …

Research undertaken to inform the High risk intersections guide showed there was a higher risk of death and serious injury at some urban signalised intersections than at other intersections using the same control types.

This study aimed to determine how to cost-effectively improve safety for people who cycle on low-volume rural roads in New Zealand.

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

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.

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